For Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway, playing in a preseason game was punishment. Literally.
Because of how the rookie from Florida handled an arrest last week, Coach Hue Jackson wanted him to play, play and play some more in the Browns’ preseason opener Thursday against the New York Giants.
“It was (discipline). I was trying to make him play the whole game if we could,” Jackson said Sunday. “I didn’t want him to come out. That was part of the consequence of what he’d been through, and he knows it. That’s what it was.”
Callaway was arrested at 2:59 a.
