The NFL has rescinded an invitation to former Tennessee linebacker A.J. Johnson to attend the scouting combine after Johnson was indicted on rape charges.

The Tennessean first reported the revocation on Friday, and the NFL confirmed it.

Johnson, accused of raping a 19-year-old woman in November, was indicted on two counts of rape Thursday by a grand jury in Knoxville, Tenn.

Johnson, Tennessee’s leading tackler in 2014, was suspended by coach Butch Jones after Johnson and former teammate Michael Williams were accused of the sexual assault. Williams also was indicted Thursday.

The combine begins Tuesday in Indianapolis and runs through Feb. 23.
