Why Jets' Todd Bowles won't discipline Darron Lee for concert incident

FLORHAM PARK -- Jets coach Todd Bowles on Tuesday said he will not discipline second-year inside linebacker Darron Lee for an incident that happened Saturday at a music festival.

"He had an argument with his girlfriend," Bowles said, while downplaying the incident. "What do you want me to discipline him [for]? He had an argument with his girlfriend, and somebody took a photo."

But an eyewitness account posted on Twitter noted that Lee got physical with the woman and grabbed her. The account used the words "manhandle" and "dragging."

Bowles said he spoke to Lee and other involved parties, as the coach attempted to determine what happened that night.
