Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young was cited for misdemeanor assault for his involvement in an incident at a Dallas strip club early Sunday, according to multiple reports.

Young was not arrested but faces a potential fine of as much as $500, according to the reports.

According to the Dallas Morning News, Young was involved in a scuffle with an employee of the strip club in an office area around 3:30 a.m. The employee made a gesture that appeared to disparage the University of Texas, Young's alma mater, according to the Morning News.

"There was a conversation going on between Mr. Young and several people inside the office," Craig Miller, a Dallas police official, told the Morning News. "One of the [club employees] makes a gesture contradictory to the University of Texas, the 'hook 'em' sign upside down. This obviously made Mr. Young upset."

Young could face potential disciplinary action by the Titans or the NFL. A league spokesman told the Nashville Tennessean that the NFL would look into the matter.

Titans Coach Jeff Fisher told the Tennessean: "We are aware of the reports. Members of the organization have been in touch with Vince. At this point we're just gathering facts. I have nothing else to say about it. I can't speculate, can't go into detail. We're just gathering facts. I'm sure we will have a lot more information over the next few days."
