The Facts:
Holmes on Friday was ordered to stand trial Aug. 15 on assault and domestic violence charges stemming from an alleged June 19 incident involving the mother of his five-month-old daughter. Holmes also faces a hearing in Miami Beach next Wednesday on disorderly conduct charges resulting from his arrest there on Memorial Day weekend.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com insider Len Pasquarelli pointed out, if the trial date holds firm, Holmes would be forced to leave the Steelers less than three weeks into his first NFL training camp. The first-round pick was already behind most first-year players because of a league rule that precludes all rookies from participating in more than one orientation-type mini-camp until their school holds its commencement exercises. ... Meanwhile, the arrests could mean Holmes will face NFL sanctions before he ever plays his first regular-season game.
