BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns guard Alvin Bailey admitted he let the team down with his arrest for OVI and misdemeanor drug charges several hours after the team plane landed on Sunday.
"It was unfortunate that I let the team down and was a distraction to my teammates and things like that," Bailey said. "It was a mistake that I made. I have to own up to it, and hopefully we will be able to work past it.”
Bailey's playing status for Sunday in Washington is uncertain. Coach Hue Jackson said there would be consequences for Bailey, but declined to say if that meant he would not play on Sunday.
