Todd Downing, former offensive coordinator of the Titans, is serving his jail sentence over DUI charges from November.
TMZ reports that Downing turned himself in to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Department on Tuesday, and is serving a 48-hour sentence.
Downing was arrested for driving under the influence in the early morning hours on Nov. 18, shortly after the Titans’ team flight landed back in Tennessee following a “Thursday Night Football” victory over the Packers in Green Bay.

“I’d like to acknowledge how serious this situation is,” Downing told reporters the week after the incident in November. “I understand how sensitive and troubling a subject this is, and I’m not naive to how much pain there may be for some people involved in similar situations.
“I’ve put my family through some things they don’t deserve. I have an amazing wife and an amazing son that love me unconditionally, and I don’t want them to have to endure anything more than what I’ve brought on.”
