A criminal complaint claimed that Mincey attempted "to intentionally cause the death of Jasire Peterson ... by stabbing him with a knife,” per NBC News.

Another complaint alleged that Mincey’s "assault 1st degree" assault was committed when he allegedly carried out "serious physical injury to Joshua Underwood ... by stabbing him with a knife."

"We are currently focused on gathering information and reviewing the evidence, which has not yet been fully received," Mincey’s family’s attorney David Bigney said, per the outlet. "We ask for patience as the legal process moves forward."

“Saturday was a very sad day for UAB football and for UAB athletics,” UAB Athletic Director Mark Ingram said at a news conference Monday.

Interim head coach Alex Mortensen added that the two injured players have been released from the hospital and were "recovering.”

He also added that the rest of the players will be offered counseling sessions and the option of stepping away from practice.

Both of the injured players were defensive linemen, per NBC News.
