Titans coach Jeff Fisher said Tuesday he’s gathering facts about a weekend incident between suspended cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones and defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth.
“It doesn’t appear to me to be anything of substance,” Fisher said. “I’m not going to dwell on it. If I get more information, I’ll deal with it in-house.”
The Nashville police department said officers were not involved in investigating any incident between Jones and Haynesworth over the weekend.
Jones has been suspended for the season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, and Commissioner Roger Goodell turned down his appeal for leniency earlier this month.
