The Philadelphia Eagles released wide receiver Josh Huff on Thursday, two days after he was arrested and charged with possessing an unloaded 9 mm handgun without a permit and a small amount of marijuana, the team announced.
The Eagles are scheduled to discuss Huff's release Thursday afternoon. He had practiced with the team Wednesday.
Huff had expressed regret for Tuesday's incident and apologized to his teammates and the organization for causing a distraction. But when it came to questions about his decision to carry a gun with hollow-point bullets, Huff stood his ground.
