MINNEAPOLIS -- Three Minnesota Vikings players were arrested after a fight outside a downtown Minneapolis bar early Sunday.
Vikings coach Mike Tice confirmed to The Associated Press the arrests of linebackers E.J. Henderson and Mike Nattiel, and tight end Steve Farmer.
"I have not been able to find out anything concrete yet," Tice said.
The three players were arrested along with a fourth man after a fight outside a bar in the Minneapolis Warehouse District.
A man, whose name was not released, was beaten and taken to Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, police spokesman Ron Reier said. His condition wasn't known.
The Vikings players and the fourth man arrested were in the Hennepin County Jail pending formal charges.
Henderson had 27 tackles in 16 games in 2003, and Nattiel had 24 tackles and one interception. Farmer was signed by the Vikings as a rookie free agent in May 2003.
