A former Titans running back is charged in Nashville with felony aggravated assault after allegedly breaking a man's jaw during an early-morning fight in March.

An arrest affidavit says that Antonio T. Andrews was at Little Chicago Pizza on Demonbreun about 3 a.m. March 25 when he overheard another man use a racial slur in a comment to an employee.

Andrews followed the man outside and approached him, asking about the comment, the arrest affidavit says. They exchanged words and Andrews punched the man twice during the altercation, the affidavit says.

The document says the man suffered a broken jaw.

Andrews, 24, is charged with aggravated assault and is expected to appear in court in Nashville for a hearing May 19.

Andrews signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent out of Western Kentucky in 2014, and spent the last three seasons with the organization.

He started 10 games in 2015, when he rushed for 520 yards and three touchdowns on 143 carries. He added 21 catches for 174 yards and threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Mariota.

Last season, Andrews tumbled down the depth chart after the Titans acquired DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry. Andrews appeared in all 16 games, but finished with just 15 yards on two carries.

He was not retained this offseason.

Earlier this week, two other Titans players were named in a civil lawsuit alleging they assaulted a man, Dante Satterfield, at a Demonbreun Hill bar in April, on the first night of the NFL draft.

Titans coach Mike Mularkey was asked Friday about the federal civil lawsuit brought against wide receiver Tajae Sharpe and offensive lineman Sebastian Tretola.

“I know there’s a lawsuit,” Mularkey said. “I know everybody’s monitoring to see what’s coming. I’m doing the same thing. I’m just like everybody else.

“I know as much as you guys know right now. Just trying to monitor the situation.”

Sharpe’s agent has denied the accusation. Tretola’s has not responded to a request for comment. Metro police are investigating.
