After a month of silence, Christian Ballard opened up Tuesday regarding the reason he walked away from the Minnesota Vikings in training camp.

The former defensive lineman told USA Today that he wasn’t enjoying life in the NFL anymore.

The revelation came less than a week after Ballard was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery following a dispute with his wife at their Lawrence, Kan., home, according to USA Today. The district attorney dropped the case without filing charges, the newspaper reported.

Ballard, 24, left the Vikings on Aug. 18 and married Victoria Hallenbeck less than two weeks later, according to USA Today.
