The Indianapolis Colts quickly released safety John Boyett a year ago after he was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, public intoxication and resisting law enforcement.
Boyett could now find himself in a similar situation with the Denver Broncos.
According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, Boyett was arrested on a misdemeanor third-degree assault charge on Wednesday morning.
After his release by the Colts, the Broncos signed Boyett to their practice squad last November. He turned to their practice squad this season after being released at the end of training camp and had spent the first seven weeks of the season on the squad.
However, teams are less willing to wait for due process to play out with players of lesser standing on the roster. Players on the practice squad typically get even less rope to work with. Boyett may learn that lesson the hard way for the second time in 13 months.
