Former NFL tight end Aaron Hernandez, who was convicted of murder last month for the death of Odin Lloyd, reportedly served as a lookout during a prison fight Monday.

Susan Candiotti of CNN reports a law enforcement source stated Hernandez agreed to play the role of lookout as an inmate entered a different cell for what's believed to be a gang-related brawl. As a result of the incident, the former New England Patriot was relocated:

All three men are being disciplined over the incident, including the former professional football player, who was put in a special management section.

Christopher Fallon, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Department of Correction, declined to comment, saying regulations forbid divulging information of that kind about inmates.

The report notes it's not the first time Hernandez has faced discipline since getting arrested in connection with Lloyd's death. He was previously involved in a fight of his own with another individual at the Bristol County jail before the murder trial.

It's unclear what type of further discipline he could face as a result of this latest misstep. He's serving a life sentence, although his lawyers have appealed the decision.

Hernandez is also facing a separate trial for an alleged double murder in Boston. Pro Football Talk notes the next motion for that case is set for Thursday, but he's not scheduled to attend the status hearing.
