Former Eagles player LeSean McCoy, his attorney, and members of the District Attorney's Office and the Philadelphia Police Department met at a Center City law office Tuesday, more than two weeks after McCoy allegedly was involved in a bar brawl that injured two off-duty police officers.

It was not immediately clear what was discussed at the meeting at 20th and Market Streets. At least six participants declined to comment as they left the building after sunset.

Dennis Cogan, McCoy's attorney, whose law office is in the high-rise office building, was among those exiting. Cogan has said McCoy did nothing wrong.

District Attorney Seth Williams said last week that his office still was investigating the apparent melee that broke out about 2:45 a.m. Feb. 7 at Recess Lounge, an Old City nightclub.

According to an initial incident report, McCoy, a running back now with the Buffalo Bills, was at the club with friends when a member of his group and an off-duty officer got into a dispute about a bottle of champagne.

A fight apparently ensued, with members of McCoy's group allegedly punching and kicking the officers, according to the report. Two of the officers were hospitalized for injuries, including a potential skull fracture and broken ribs, the report said.

Williams has declined to comment on the investigation or to provide a timeline for revealing potential charges.
