Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers, considered on the bubble to make the team's final cut, was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana Friday night, according to ESPN's Todd Archer.
Gathers's arrest occurred with less than 24 hours available for teams to cut their rosters down to 53 players. He was arrested at 10:52 p.m. CT on the 3100 block of Parkwood Boulevard in Frisco, Texas. He was found possessing less than two ounces of marijuana. He was released from jail Saturday morning after posting bond.
Gathers has been competing for a spot on the Cowboys' roster, but has trailed Geoff Swaim, Blake Jarwin and rookie Dalton Schultz on the depth chart.
