Tyrunn Walker was a key member of the Detroit Lions defensive line rotation the past two seasons. Then he left in free agency to join the Los Angeles Rams.

Now, he's been released by Los Angeles amid an investigation into allegations that he sexually assaulted two women in Louisiana.

Authorities in Lafayette, Louisiana, are wrapping up the investigation into Walker, which was first reported Thursday by the New Orleans Advocate. The investigation started in March, the same month he signed with the Rams.

Walker and another man are accused of forcing themselves onto an unconscious woman at a hotel following a night out drinking for Mardi Gras in Lafayette, the Advocate reported from court filings for restraining orders against the two. According to the filings, the alleged sexual assault ended when one of the women in question regained consciousness and forced one of the men off the other woman.

The two women were ages 18 and 19 and were college students at the time.

Walker is 27. He spent the past two seasons in Detroit, where he started into his second season before he was benched in November. After 19 games with 12 starts over two seasons with the Lions, he left to play for the Rams. He was cut by L.A. mere hours after news of the investigation went public.

Walker is originally from New Iberia, Louisiana, which is around 30 miles southeast of Lafayette. He played his college ball at Tulsa and then spent his first three seasons with the New Orleans Saints before departing for Detroit.
