It has been nearly two months since Michael Bennett was indicted on a felony charge of injury to the elderly stemming from an incident that occurred at the 2017 Super Bowl.

Bennett, acquired by the Eagles in a March trade, was originally scheduled for his arraignment on April 23, but that was pushed back to this week, scheduled for Thursday.

Not anymore -- Bennett's hearing will be "put off until we wait for state to provide promised discovery," said Rusty Hardin, Bennett's Houston-based lawyer.

It is now scheduled for June 27.

Bennett turned himself in to Houston authorities on March 26 following an indictment on a felony charge of injury to the elderly. Bennett posted a $10,000 bail to be promptly released that day, as the judge initially permitted him only to travel to and from his home in Hawaii for court proceedings in Houston.

Recently, Eagles coach Doug Pederson said that Bennett was at the team's NovaCare Complex in Philadelphia a few weeks ago, though he had not partaken in the team's voluntary off-season work-out program. Pederson said he's not worried about "multiple Pro Bowl players."

Bennett, 32, has been a Pro Bowler at defensive end for three consecutive seasons and is expected to play an important role on the Eagles defensive line this year.

The charge came out of an incident that allegedly occurred following Super Bowl LI in 2017 at NRG Stadium in Houston. Bennett is accused of injuring a 66-year-old paraplegic security staffer while trying to push through to celebrate with his brother, Martellus, a tight end for the New England Patriots, who had just completed a miraculous comeback to defeat the Atlanta Falcons in overtime.

The felony charge of injury to the elderly is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

"There was no fighting, there was no pushing," Hardin told NJ Advance Media last month. "The entire thing is ludicrous. That's what I think we'll find when it's all over."
