Ex-Lions DT Tyrunn Walker released by Rams amid sexual assault allegations

Tyrunn Walker was a key member of the Detroit Lions defensive line rotation the past two seasons. Then he left in free agency to join the Los Angeles Rams.

Now, he's been released by Los Angeles amid an investigation into allegations that he sexually assaulted two women in Louisiana.

Authorities in Lafayette, Louisiana, are wrapping up the investigation into Walker, which was first reported Thursday by the New Orleans Advocate. The investigation started in March, the same month he signed with the Rams.

Walker and another man are accused of forcing themselves onto an unconscious woman at a hotel following a night out drinking for Mardi Gras in Lafayette, the Advocate reported from court filings for restraining orders against the two.
