Broncos' Marshall to appear in Atlanta court

Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall is set to appear in Fulton County State Court on a misdemeanor battery charge.

He is scheduled to appear before Judge John R. Mather Thursday morning.

The charge stems from a March 2008 argument with then-girlfriend Rasheedah Watley at Marshall's downtown Atlanta condominium.

Marshall was suspended for last year's season opener after a series of domestic disputes. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said a conviction in this case could lead to a second suspension.
