Philadelphia Eagles running back Dion Lewis will not face any charges in connection with his arrest for allegedly setting off a fire alarm at a New York hotel, the Philadelphia Daily News reported. Lewis and his brother had been charged with falsely reporting an incident, when they allegedly pulled a fire alarm after finding themselves locked out of their hotel room. Their hearing was scheduled for this week, but the district attorney decided there was no evidence a fire alarm was ever pulled. Lewis is expected to be LeSean McCoy's primary backup this season.
