Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga is going to start taking steps to prevent another alcohol-related incident disrupting his career.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Maualuga is planning to check into the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California later this month for “at least” 30 days.
Maualuga’s stock dropped in the NFL Draft because of his history with alcohol and then he pled guilty to drunken driving this offseason. The linebacker met with the NFL this week, and we suspect he told them of his plans for rehab.
