The Pittsburgh Steelers said in a statement Tuesday that offensive coordinator Todd Haley was injured in a fall Sunday night but is expected to be able to coach when the Steelers return to action in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

A spokesperson for the Pittsburgh Police Department, however, said the incident in question actually involved Haley's wife, Christine, and that Haley was not injured.

Police spokesperson Alicia George told USA TODAY Sports in a written statement that the incident in question took place at a restaurant called Tequila Cowboy. There was a "minor scuffle" involving Haley's wife, according to the statement, but "the scuffle was quickly ended."

"Todd Haley was not involved nor injured," George wrote in the statement, adding that no charges were filed as a result of the scuffle. "Todd and Christine Haley were escorted out."

NFL Network reported earlier Tuesday that Todd Haley was "shoved down" outside a bar near Heinz Field, resulting in a hip injury. Team spokesperson Burt Lauten confirmed in a statement that Haley was injured Sunday but did not offer specifics.

"Offensive coordinator Todd Haley was injured in a fall Sunday evening following our Week 17 game," Lauten said in a statement. "We expect he will return to the office this week to participate in preparations for our upcoming playoff game."
