Titans rookie tackle Taylor Lewan pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges on Thursday morning to resolve his court case in Michigan.

Lewan, the team's first-round draft pick, entered pleas to charges of disturbing the peace and being drunk and disorderly from an incident that took place after the Michigan-Ohio State football game last year. Last week, the two sides reached a resolution in the case, but it didn't become official until Thursday morning in court.

Under an agreement with prosecutors, Lewan is expected to get probation when he's sentenced on Dec. 15. Attorney John Shea declined comment on Thursday morning,



Lewan, selected 11th overall by the Titans, was initially charged with one count of misdemeanor aggravated assault and two counts of assault and battery stemming from an altercation in Ann Arbor last December, when he still played for Michigan. Two Buckeyes fans said Lewan assaulted them. The assault charges were dismissed as part of the plea deal.



The case was initially scheduled to go to trial, but Shea and the prosecutor reached a resolution in the case last week at a final settlement hearing, and asked the judge to cancel the trial.

Lewan appeared in court this morning in Ann Arbor. Lewan previously said he was breaking up a dispute and wasn't involved in a fight.

Lewan has started the last three games for the Titans, who are on their bye week.
