Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young was released from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation last week after serving almost half of his four-year prison sentence for battery with serious injury.
The 29-year-old Young had previously been denied parole in February for the fight he was sentenced to prison for in 2016 - the last crime in a string of them that dated back to 2013, when he was released by both the Lions and the Rams.
Young had been granted 862 days - or the equivalent of 2.3 years - of time served by the court, which allowed him to be paroled last Friday.
