An attorney for Los
Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald said Friday he’s obtained
video evidence to contradict allegations Donald severely injured DeVincent Spriggs during a fight outside a Pittsburgh bar
last weekend.

Casey White said on
93.7 The Fan (via Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) that the video and multiple eyewitnesses suggest Spriggs was the aggressor
and Donald helped save him from being further attacked.

“He actually saved Mr. Spriggs from
further injury,” White said. “It’s fantastic, from a defense
attorney’s perspective, to be honest with you.”

Todd Hollis, Spriggs’ attorney, said
Wednesday he’d submitted a “formalized statement” to
Pittsburgh police seeking a criminal investigation into Donald, per
TMZ Sports.

Hollis told TMZ the incident began when
his client accidentally bumped into the NFL player inside the club.
He alleged both parties were asked to leave and Donald became
aggressive once outside.

Spriggs suffered a broken eye socket,
broken nose, concussion arm injury and cuts that required 16 stitches
on the night in question. His attorney released a photo showing an extremely
swollen eye and said his client was also dealing with “severe
trauma.”

White said Friday he doesn’t dispute Spriggs was seriously injured but that Donald “didn’t
cause any trouble.” The lawyer said Spriggs was aggressive toward Donald and swung a bottle at him, at which point Donald was restrained by others
and then helped pull away people who were attacking Spriggs, per Batko.

“We have the surveillance video, and
we have five corroborating witnesses at this point,” White said. “And we have more that are coming out of the woodwork.”

He added Donald told him to expedite
the discovery process because he “didn’t do anything” and has no
interest in a financial settlement, per Batko:

“The first thing Aaron said to me is,
‘I hired you to make this go away—quickly—because I didn’t do
anything. I’m not paying anybody anything.
You and I can walk to the police department and tell them the story.
Get the video, get the witnesses, I didn’t do anything. I just want
to go to the weight room and not have anybody ask me about this
situation, because nothing happened.'”

The Rams issued a statement after the
initial allegations.

‘We are aware of the reports
regarding Aaron Donald,” the team said. “We are collecting more
information and will have no further comment at this time.”

Donald, 29, is one of the NFL’s best players. He has been named Defensive Player of the Year three times and
earned Pro Bowl selections in all seven of his pro seasons.

He’s a Pittsburgh native and was a
standout lineman at the University of Pittsburgh before being
selected by the Rams in the first round of the 2014 draft.
