It was reported on Thursday that Revis was under investigation by Pittsburgh police for an altercation, but had not been charged.

There are conflicting reports as to what happened.

According to a police statement, two men, 21 and 22 years old, told police they were punched by Revis after a verbal disagreement. The two men reportedly spotted Revis on the street at 2:43 a.m. and began filming him on their cell phone. Revis took the phone and attempted to delete it before throwing it in the street. A verbal disagreement began and the two men say Revis punched them and they were knocked out for 10 minutes.

Revis' attorney Blaine Jones said Revis was assaulted by a group of at least five men while visiting a real-estate site he's developing.

Revis' attorney didn't immediately respond to a request for further comment from Business Insider.
