Former NFL linebacker Chris McCain pleaded no contest to two counts of battery Tuesday, according to TMZ Sports.
The misdemeanor charges stem from a January incident where he allegedly spit on a woman and forcibly grabbed her by the neck.
While McCain was facing up to six months in jail if convicted, the plea deal allows him to avoid jail time.
