ESPN.com news services
Former Pittsburgh Steelers standout and current Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter was cited by Las Vegas police for misdemeanor battery after he allegedly punched another NFL player in the face Sunday night, according to a published report.
The Las Vegas Review Journal is reporting that Porter was cited for an alleged fight he had with Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Levi Jones.
"Apparently these two have a history with each other, a history of trash talking on the field," Las Vegas police Lt. Kevin McMahill told the paper.
Jones was treated by medical personnel at the scene, McMahill said.
Porter recently signed a five-year, $32 million deal with the Dolphins after being released by the Steelers.
In his eight-year career, Porter has 60 sacks and 10 interceptions.
