Indianapolis Colts defensive end Chris McCain has been charged with battery stemming from a January incident, according to L.A. District Attorney's Office documents provided to NFL.com.
McCain is accused of spitting on a woman and grabbing her neck in Los Angeles on Jan. 7.
The 26-year-old defensive end, who signed with the Colts in May, denies any wrongdoing.
