The Tennessee Titans face another tough hurdle this season. As the perennial underdog of the league, they have been fighting against the odds for over 50 seasons, with little to no success. The team’s impact on the league was only significant during the late 90s, and ever since, they have failed to fulfill the expectations of their fans. This year, there was hope of a comeback, but they have unfortunately been struck by a troubling incident involving their running back, Hassan Haskins.

The 26-year-old running back joined the team just last year, and his performance was only moderate. While there were hopes for improvement this season, his recent legal issues have sparked discussions about the possibility of him being suspended from the team.

On Thursday, Hassan Haskins was arrested and charged with aggravated assault for reportedly strangling his girlfriend, Makiah Green. The altercation was said to have been triggered by Green liking another man’s photo on Instagram. According to the arrest warrants, Haskins allegedly choked Green using both hands for a duration of 10-15 seconds following the argument.

Reports indicate that the argument between the couple began on June 22 at a restaurant, where witnesses observed them engaged in a heated dispute. Following the altercation, Haskins left the restaurant without accompanying Green. Subsequently, Green arranged for an Uber to return home, as reported by ESPN.

Green is also charged with assault charges, in addition to the charge of vandalism. According to the warrant, both individuals engaged in physical altercations, slapping each other during their fight. Green added in her report that she threw a glass at Haskins, which shattered upon impact with a closing door, the same door Haskins had kicked and broken in half. She also admitted to breaking a chain worth $5,000 that belonged to Haskins during their physical altercation.

Green had also thrown Haskins’ phone on the ground upon discovering explicit pictures on it. Which led to Green grabbing a kitchen knife and threatening to slash Haskins’ tires. In response, Haskins drew his gun, prompting Green to set the knife down.
