Short-time Browns linebacker Ausar Walcott pleaded not guilty to attempted murder today, in the other case this week involving a football player.
According to the Associated Press, the rookie linebacker (who was released yesterday) Walcott was charged with punching Derek Jones in the side of the head outside a New Jersey strip club.
The prosecutor said Jones remains in a medically induced coma in a New York hospital, and is in critical condition.
Walcott, who played at the University of Virginia, is being held on $500,000 bail.
