The Chicago Bears signed former Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Morgan to a one-year deal roughly a week ago, and he already has himself in some hot water. According to NBC Washington, Morgan is facing charges after punching a valet driver for allegedly simply looking at his girlfriend.

“I was just standing there and I looked up, and in the blink of an eye he just punched me right in the mouth,” Johnson said, via NBC Washington. “Instantly my mouth is bleeding profusely, just blood coming out all over my jacket and stuff. I was scared. I didn’t know what to do.

“It’s not fair for anybody to go around punching people just doing their job. I didn’t say anything disrespectful to the lady. I didn’t look at her or sexualize her in any way. I just looked in the direction and I got hit.”

Morgan apparently is unphased and unconcerned with the allegations.

And the Bears issued a statement, via NBC Washington: “We are aware of Josh Morgan’s presence at a weekend incident in Washington, D.C. We are currently gathering information to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the event.”
