Young was arrested on July 9 on a felony charge of battery with serious bodily injury, the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Young was supposed to make a pretrial hearing appearance on July 10 for 11 charges of felony burglary and assault from May 2013. The legal process has been delayed while he's received medical treatment for a mental disorder. It's unknown whether the former Lions wide receiver still hopes to play in the NFL again, but it seems like a long shot, and he can safely be assumed to be out for 2014.

Young's legal issues landed him in hot water, and he currently sits without a team. His talent is evident, but he is likely going to have to make some changes in his personal life before he gets another shot in the league.
Playing in the shadow of Calvin Johnson, Young had a productive rookie season - at least by cosmetic measures - 607 yards and six scores. But looking deeper, he averaged just 7.1 YPT and 12.6 YPC, while usually facing single coverage in a potent offense. At 5-11, 174, Young is small, but awfully fast. He's logged four receptions of 40-yards or more on just 85 looks, but wasn't always targeted far down field. Heading into Year 2, he'll be more familiar with quarterback Matthew Stafford, have a better feel for playing in the NFL and will almost always be allowed to run free with Johnson on the field. But besides Johnson dominating the targets, Nate Burleson is still around, the team often throws to its two pass-catching tight ends and it drafted receiver Ryan Broyles (who's coming back from an ACL tear) in the second round. Just before press time, Young was sent home from OTAs after punching teammate Louis Delmas, but was back practicing about a week later. It shouldn't affect his status with the team, but it does speak to his immaturity - he was also benched during the second half of a December game for an ill-timed personal foul penalty - and likely leaves him with little margin for error behavior-wise.
Taken with the 44th overall pick in the draft, Young immediately provides the Lions with another downfield threat, someone other than Calvin Johnson who can generate big plays through the air. At 5-11, 170, Young’s not going to be a red-zone threat, and for this season at least, he’ll likely be the third option behind Nate Burleson.
