The Oakland Raiders announced Monday they have released Sean Smith with the cornerback set to go to jail for assault.
According to Nathan Fenno of the Los Angeles Times, Smith is expected to plead guilty Tuesday to a felony count of assault with great bodily injury. He will be sentenced to one year in jail and five years of probation.
Smith is accused of assaulting his sister's then-boyfriend Christopher Woods in Pasadena last August, causing five fractures to the victim's eye socket. Woods also had to have a metal plate inserted below his right eye.
