TEMPE, Ariz. -- A decision on Daryl Washington's reinstatement has yet to be made, but the Cardinals inside linebacker showed earlier this year that he was on the road to recovery.

Washington's probation, the punishment for pleading guilty to aggravated assault in March 2014, was reduced by two months, according to court documents. His charge, which was unclassified when he was sentenced in April 2014, was also classified as a misdemeanor rather than a felony, according to documents.

The 28-year-old served 10 months of probation, which ended Feb. 11.

Whether Washington will face another suspension is yet to be seen.

He has been suspended since May 30, 2014, for violating the substance abuse policy, a second substance abuse violation that caused him to miss the entire 2014 season. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told ESPN that Washington's domestic assault violation would be reviewed under the personal conduct policy separately and after a decision on his reinstatement from his current suspension is made.

Washington's agent, Jordan Woy, did not return a request for comment.

During Washington's probation, he completed a 36-week domestic violence program and "submitted to drug and alcohol testing without incident," according to court documents.

How often Washington was tested for drugs and alcohol was not available through a public records request. But offenders on probation call daily into a computerized system that informs them whether they are to be tested, according to Michael Cimino, Maricopa County (Arizona) adult probation deputy chief. The number of tests is determined by the offender's probation officer based on the offender's needs, Cimino told ESPN.

Part of Washington's sentence was the possibility of a reduced probation and a lower classification if he met the requirements of his probation, namely the counseling, according to a motion to reduce Washington's probation filed by his attorney, Phil Noland.

According to that same motion, the deputy attorney for Maricopa County, Frankie Jones, did not oppose a reduced probation for the 2012 Pro Bowler.

In his petition to end Washington's probation early, probation officer Aaron Porzel wrote that Washington "reported as directed, maintained a stable residence, [and] paid all Court ordered fines and fees," which totaled $1,340, according to court records.

Washington was arrested on May 3, 2013, after he surrendered to police following an incident at his ex-girlfriend's apartment. According to court documents, Washington was accused of grabbing his ex-girlfriend by the throat and shoving her to the ground, which broke her right collarbone and caused other scrapes, bruises and cuts to her right arm, right hip and right leg. The pair had a daughter together. Washington initially pleaded not guilty but changed his plea in 2014.

Washington last played for the Cardinals in 2013. He was suspended the first four games of that season for violating the substance abuse policy but finished with 75 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions.

Throughout this offseason, coach Bruce Arians has said repeatedly he doesn't think about Washington because the linebacker isn't on the active roster.

General manager Steve Keim said Thursday on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM that when players are suspended under the substance abuse policy, the Cardinals do not receive "any" information from the league.

"That's between the league and the players," Keim said. "So, it's really out of our hands at this point. So, nothing has changed when it comes to Daryl Washington."
