Report: Incognito placed on psychiatric hold after gym incident
Former Buffalo Bills guard Richie Incognito was involved in an altercation with another man at a Florida gym, according to TMZ Sports.
Incognito was working out Wednesday and allegedly threw a tennis ball, then a dumbbell at another attendee before police were called to the scene, TMZ reports.
The 34-year-old was detained by police, a Boca Police spokesperson confirmed to A.J. Perez of USA Today. Incognito was reportedly placed on psychiatric hold per the provisions of The Florida Mental Health Act of 1971, also known as the Baker Act.
Incognito was named to the Pro Bowl for the fourth time in his career in 2017, anchoring the Bills' offensive line and serving as a key piece of their run-heavy scheme.
It's been a turbulent offseason for Incognito, who originally asked the Bills to place him on the retired/reserved list. Incognito nearly immediately changed his mind, however, and said he would attend the team's voluntary offseason activities. Shortly thereafter, he asked for his release.
Buffalo released Incognito from the reserve/retired list Monday, allowing him to sign with any team for the 2018 season.
