Michael Irvin now joins Ezekiel Elliott as the latest Dallas Cowboys' affiliate under league investigation.

The Fort Lauderdale Police Department launched a criminal investigation this spring into allegations Irvin sexually assaulted a woman, with the probe being officially closed in June. The case remained open, however, and the findings were turned over to the Broward County State's Attorney to determine if the former wide receiver will be charged with any wrongdoing.

In late July, he was fully exonerated of all accusations and the case was wholly dismissed.

He's since returned to his post at NFL Network assuming the situation was completely behind him, but he was wrong. According to a confirmed report from Deadspin, the NFL is now investigating Irvin under the league's personal conduct policy to determine if they believe there was any violation on the part of the Hall of Famer:

Irvin now works as an analyst for the NFL Network. This is from the first paragraph of the NFL’s personal conduct policy (emphasis is in the policy): “ Everyone who is part of the league must refrain from ‘conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in’ the NFL. This includes owners, coaches, players, other team employees, game officials, and employees of the league office, NFL Films, NFL Network, or any other NFL business.”

League spokesman Brian McCarthy further substantiated the report in an email to Deadspin.

“Yes," he affirmed. "The investigation is ongoing under the personal conduct policy."

The Cowboys legend and his attorney have been vehement throughout the process that he was innocent, going as far as calling a press conference urging to prosecutors to "make a decision" and "move on". While the police and prosecutor have done just that, the NFL is instead digging in its heels.

As awkward as it sounds for the NFL to subject a non-player to a personal conduct probe, Irvin isn't the first instance in which this has occurred. NFL owners have been fined in the past for questionable behaviors, as have general employees of NFL teams and former players -- the most recent being Brian Baldinger, who was suspended six months without pay for suggesting the Philadelphia Eagles put a bounty on running back Ezekiel Elliott.

It remains to be seen if there will be any discipline heaped upon Irvin by league officials but based upon the NFL's mishandling of several cases lately -- the most blatant being that of Elliott, who also saw his case dismissed in court -- it doesn't exactly look promising.
