According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, an NFL official said the league has completed its review involving the veteran wide receiver and determined there was "insufficient evidence of a personal conduct policy violation."
The decision effectively closes the league's review of the matter and removes one potential obstacle as Diggs pursues a return to the league.
The ruling comes roughly one month after Diggs was found not guilty in a Massachusetts court case stemming from allegations made by a former personal chef.
Diggs had faced charges related to an alleged incident at his home in December. He pleaded not guilty, maintained his innocence throughout the process and was ultimately acquitted following a trial in May.
Now, the NFL appears to have reached its own conclusion.
According to Schefter, a league official said the review found insufficient evidence to support a personal conduct policy violation, bringing the matter to a close from the league's standpoint.
The development could be important for Diggs' future.
The veteran receiver became a free agent after being released by the New England Patriots in March. Despite entering his age-32 season, Diggs remains one of the most accomplished wideouts available on the open market.
A four-time Pro Bowler, Diggs has recorded seven 1,000-yard receiving seasons during his career and remains capable of helping a contender in need of receiving depth.
With both the court case and the review now behind him, attention will likely turn to whether a team is willing to offer Diggs his next opportunity.
