WTAE in Pittsburgh is\u00a0reporting that Revis was approached by two people who began recording him with their cell phone. A conflict ensued when Revis snatched the phone and tossed it away.<\/p>\n<p>Later, a friend of Revis approached and attacked them. Both were admitted to a local hospital with one of the victims reportedly suffering broken bones around the eye.<\/p>\n<p>This account is corroborated by an officer\u00a0patrolling the area at the time. He stated that he initially saw Revis talking to two individuals. When he returned a short time later, they were unconscious on the ground and Revis had left the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The WTAE story says that Revis is under investigation with police considering filing felony charges.<\/p>\n<p>Revis&#8217; lawyer Blaine Jones released the following statement in response to the situation:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Revis came home to Pittsburgh this past weekend to visit family and friends. During that time, Mr. Revis went by a location in the South Side that he is in the process of developing,&#8221; Jones stated via email. &#8220;Mr. Revis was physically assaulted while at that location by a group of at least five people. Mr. Revis feared for his safety and retreated from the aggressors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Jets\u00a0defensive back is coming off one of the most disappointing seasons of his career. He managed just a single interception and was ranked 66th among cornerbacks by <a href=\"http:\/\/profootballfocus.com\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pro Football Focus<\/a>. There was talk about the possibility of the seven-time Pro Bowler moving to safety in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Revis signed a lucrative five-year, $70 million contract with $39 million guaranteed during free agency in 2015. $6 million of his 2017 salary is included in those guarantees. He carries a $15.33 cap number for the upcoming season and has three years remaining on his current deal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/607676768\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 68.686869% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/607676768?et=JDrLuNOnRzxSppF4ti0pOw&amp;viewMoreLink=on&amp;sig=CECfSEpJA2MLuwUTcTHNVwvR-ej_sj-aeGgoRbkBH0Q=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"408\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis was reportedly involved in an altercation early Monday morning and suffered undisclosed injuries as a result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":742,"featured_media":12962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,36],"tags":[465,61,218,40],"class_list":["post-12959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jets","category-nfl-news","tag-darrelle-revis","tag-football","tag-new-york-jets","tag-nfl"],"modified_by":"Al Preziosi","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/742"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
