Court records from Hillsborough County, Florida, indicated that former Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton entered a pretrial diversion program to resolve the misdemeanor battery charge he is facing, per a Wednesday report from ESPN.

The batterers' intervention program for the domestic violence case calls for Sutton to undergo a mental health evaluation.

He also is not allowed to possess weapons or contact the victim.

According to ESPN, the 28-year-old entered the program on April 8, which was just more than a week after he turned himself in to police. Law enforcement issued a warrant for his arrest on March 7 and was unable to locate him until he turned himself in on March 31.
