Tajae Sharpe, Sebastian Tretola Accused of Assault in Civil Lawsuit

Tennessee Titans receiver Tajae Sharpe and offensive lineman Sebastian Tretola have been accused of assault in a civil lawsuit, per Stacey Barchenger of the Tennessean on Wednesday.

Nashville's Dante R. Satterfield filed the lawsuit, alleging Sharpe beat him up while Tretola served as a lookout in an altercation in April.

On Thursday, Patrick Redford of Deadspin obtained the full lawsuit, which stated that Sharpe became angry when Satterfield remarked that the Titans' selection of Corey Davis in the NFL Draft would likely result in less playing time for Sharpe.

At that point, the lawsuit alleges the men went into a back alley where Satterfield was beaten and later found unconscious. Satterfield also says he was "diagnosed with a concussion, broken bones in the face, massive facial bruising, and a perforated eardrum."

"The claims are ridiculous," Sharpe's agent Blaine Roche said. "Tajae unequivocally denies any and all involvement and he looks forward to vindicating his name, clearing his name of any and all wrongdoing here."

The Nashville police said there is still an open investigation on the alleged altercation, although no charges have yet been filed.

Both players just completed their rookie seasons in 2016. Tretola, a sixth-round pick, served a reserve role and only appeared in one game. Sharpe made a significant impact after being a fifth-round pick, catching 41 passes for 522 yards.
