CLEVELAND (AP) _ Cleveland Browns linebacker Armonty Bryant has pleaded not guilty to felony drug possession charges.
The 25-year-old Bryant and a former teammate, 23-year-old De'Ante Saunders, were arrested after a traffic stop in a Cleveland suburb on Christmas.
Police say they found marijuana, two prescription pills and a loaded handgun in Saunders' car. The team cut Saunders after his arrest. He was a practice squad player. Bryant was suspended for the final two games.
Saunders pleaded not guilty Wednesday to improper handling of a firearm. A driving-under-the-influence charge is pending. Both men remain free on $2,500 bonds.
