Nicholson, who has missed Washington’s past two games with an ankle injury, was not at practice Thursday after attending practice Wednesday.
Nicholson was arrested on misdemeanor assault charges in December 2018 after a fight outside a bar in Ashburn.
The incident was caught on video, but charges were dropped in May because of a lack of evidence.
Nicholson also faced a misdemeanor charge for public swearing/intoxication, but the court did not pursue the charge.
