When the terms “NFL player” and “domestic violence” appear in the news, the athlete is typically the one being accused of the assault rather than the victim. However, this has also been reversed on one other uncommon instance. QB Haskins of the Steelers watches his wife detained. According to numerous media reports, Dwayne Haskins’ wife, the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was detained in Las Vegas and is being charged with domestic abuse for an alleged attack that occurred earlier this month. A felony case of battery and domestic abuse resulting in bodily harm is brought against Kalabrya Gondrezick-Haskins.
Haskins was allegedly punched in the face by Gondrezick-Haskins during the July 3rd altercation at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, resulting in a split upper lip and the loss of at least a portion of a tooth.

Haskins is not the original
The current quarterback for the Steelers, Nick Haskins, is not the first to sustain catastrophic injuries as a consequence of a marital disagreement, but his case is notable because he was the victim and not the aggressor in an NFL world where domestic violence has regrettably become a common narrative.
Star wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who was playing for the Miami Dolphins at the time, had a disagreement with his wife in 2011 and she stabbed him in the stomach. When law enforcement arrived on the scene, she claimed to have acted “in self-defense,” but she was ultimately taken into custody. She wasn’t
