Lee and Leonard Williams have been cleared by the NFL of any violations of the league’s personal conduct policy after a review of an incident at a music festival in New York in June. In a moment caught on video and splashed across social media, Williams stepped in front of Lee, who had an argument with a girlfriend, according to coach Todd

Bowles. Williams then briefly lifted and forcibly removed his teammate from a potential altercatio­n. Lee was not arrested or charged with anything resulting from the situation, and he wasn’t discipline­d by the Jets. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement Monday that the league “concluded there was insufficie­nt evidence to support a finding that there was a violation of the personal conduct policy.” ESPN first reported the decision.
