The 27-year-old Kamara was indicted on Feb. 16 for an alleged assault on Feb. 5, 2022, in Las Vegas, along with Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Chris Lammons and two other men.
Kamara’s trial is set for July 31.
The conspiracy to commit battery charge is a misdemeanor, while the substantial bodily harm charge is classified as a felony.
According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, should Kamara be found guilty, discipline from the NFL would likely come in 2023.
Kamara and the other defendants were arrested on Feb. 6, 2022, and the alleged incident occurred during the 2022 Pro Bowl weekend.
The alleged victim, Darnell Greene, told Las Vegas Metro police that he was waiting for an elevator along with a group of people that included the alleged assailants at The Cromwell Las Vegas Hotel & Casino on the morning of Feb. 5, 2022.
After the elevator doors opened, Kamara allegedly put his hand on Greene’s chest, stopping him from entering the elevator.

A surveillance video verified Greene’s account. Video shows Greene being attacked by the four suspects, including Kamara, according to police report.
