Report: Ravens' Marquise Brown Was Unnamed Player In Antonio Brown Rape Lawsuit

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Ravens receiver Marquise Brown is reportedly the unnamed player in a lawsuit that accuses Patriots receiver Antonio Brown of alleged rape.

Mike Florio, of NBC's Pro Football Talk, reported Marquise Brown was present on the evening of an alleged rape between Antonio and his accuser. Marquise and Antonio Brown are cousins.

Marquise Brown doesn't face any accusations in the incident. However, Florio said Marquise will be interviewed by the NFL to determine if he has any information in the case. 

In a lawsuit filed last week, Britney Taylor accused Antonio Brown of rape in May 2018.

When asked about the report Monday, Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh said, "it's not going to be a distraction" for the team, adding he hadn't read it but did see the headline.

"Believe me, it's the last thing on my mind right now," he told reporters.

Harbaugh said he had not talked to Marquise Brown about the situation but would get involved if he needed to.
