Falcons linebacker Michael Boley waived his arraignment on a misdemeanor battery charge in Gwinnett County Court Tuesday, signaling his entrance of a not guilty plea, according to his attorney, Manny Arora.

The move sets in motion the government's decision to build, or not build, a case against Boley. He was arrested this summer after an alleged physical confrontation with his wife at their home.
