The four Rutgers football players, whose status with the team won't be determined until their credit-card fraud cases are resolved, are scheduled for court appearances next week and in early October.
Defensive end Christian "C.J.'' Onyechi, defensive back Naijee Jones, cornerback Kwabena "Kobe'' Marfo and linebacker Malik Vaccaro-Dixon were initially scheduled for preliminary hearings on Sept. 13.
Their first appearances in Middlesex County Superior Court were rescheduled for Sept. 20, court records show.
All four players -- along with recently transferred linebacker Syhiem Simmons and recently transferred cornerback Edwin Lopez -- also have pretrial court appearances scheduled for Oct.
