ANN ARBOR -- Csont'e York is still a part of Michigan's football program, though the status of his indefinite suspension has not changed, Wolverines' coach Brady Hoke said Tuesday night.

York, a sophomore wide receiver, faces three assault charges stemming from a July 18 incident where he -- according to Ann Arbor police -- punched a 23-year-old man outside of a downtown bar.

According to the police report, the victim of the punch suffered a broken jaw in three places (requiring it to be wired shut), lost a tooth and was temporarily breathing out of a tube after the incident.

Hoke said, at this point, Michigan is going to let the legal process play itself out before making any further ruling on York's status with the program.

"There's no question (he's still a part of the program), we're going to go through the process," Hoke said. "He's a guy who has been a part of this team, and we're going to go through the process.

"His status hasn't changed."

Hoke announced an indefinite suspension -- citing a failure "to meet team standards" -- for York prior to the start of fall camp earlier this month. The 6-foot-3 wideout was not allowed to report to camp with the rest of his teammates, and is currently not with the team as it prepares for its Aug. 30 opener against Appalachian State.

Earlier Tuesday, MLive and The Ann Arbor News obtained video of York's alleged punch from the Ann Arbor police department. In the video, a man police say is York can be seen punching the victim before fleeing the scene on foot.

Of the incident, York told police: “He pressed up on him face to face exchanging words for no reason. I got (nervous) and scared about the situation so I hit the guy. I punched him.”

York is scheduled to appear in Ann Arbor's 15th District Court and receive formal charges on Aug. 22. He is currently charged with one count of aggravated assault and two counts of assault and battery.
