Show Caption Hide Caption Titans players sued over alleged assault of Nashville man Titans players Tajae Sharp and Sebastian Tretola were allegedly involved in a brawl at a Nashville bar.

Nashville police are concluding their investigation of an assault at a bar the first night of the NFL draft, an altercation that one man says in a lawsuit was perpetrated by two Tennessee Titans football players.

"The police department's investigation is wrapping up and I would anticipate our reports being presented to the grand jury for consideration," police spokesman Don Aaron said this week.

The grand jury will decide if anyone should face charges.

Last month, Dante R. Satterfield of Nashville filed a federal lawsuit against Titans wide receiver Tajae Sharpe and offensive lineman Sebastian Tretola.

Satterfield accused Sharpe of beating him up outside Tin Roof bar on Demonbreun because Sharpe was upset over the Titans picking another wide receiver — Corey Davis — in the draft. Tretola served as a lookout during the attack, according to Satterfield's lawsuit.

Sharpe's agent has denied the allegations, while Tretola's did not comment. The Titans have said they are aware of the case.

Satterfield and his lawyers agreed to dismiss the federal case on June 7 because of a jurisdiction issue, and refiled it in state court the same day. The case went to state court because both players live in Tennessee.
