Hours after a video obtained by TMZ showed Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler as a spectator to two women fighting, he, the team and the NFL issued statements Tuesday.
The 29-second package had no audio. It included 15 seconds of video footage, followed by seven still photographs. At no point did Fowler assert himself physically into the confrontation.

The police weren’t called to investigate the altercation, which reportedly occurred Feb. 1.
