Former TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin was arrested Wednesday at his North Texas home and charged with aggravated assault after his girlfriend
accused him of beating her severely at his home.
Boykin was arrested at his Mansfield
Authentic Connor Brickley Jersey , Texas, home after Mansfield police reviewed footage of a March 21 incident captured by Boykin’s security video
system, according to a police statement.
He’s been booked into the Mansfield city jail and remains without bond, pending arraignment.
The Seattle Seahawks released Boykin from its practice squad Tuesday after WFAA-TV in Dallas posted an interview with Boykin’s girlfriend in which she
alleged he broke her jaw.
Boykin, 24
Mario Lemieux Jersey , has denied the allegations, and his agent Drew Pittman told the station the allegations are false. Calls to Pittman by The
Associated Press went unanswered Wednesday.
The assault allegation is the latest off-field issue for Boykin, who has spent his NFL career with Seattle.
He was arrested in Dallas last year when a vehicle he was a passenger in hit several people on a sidewalk. He fled the scene on foot but was later arrested
on misdemeanor charges of public intoxication and possession of marijuana.
In 2015, Boykin was arrested for assaulting a police officer and public intoxication shortly before the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio during his senior
season at TCU. Boykin, who was the team’s quarterback
Authentic Carl Gunnarsson Jersey , was suspended for the bowl game.
The Bengals put quarterback Matt Barkley on injured reserve, leaving Jeff Driskel as
the backup to Andy Dalton heading into the season.
Barkley hurt his left knee during the Bengals' preseason finale Thursday night against Indianapolis. Kemoko Turay hit Barkley in the legs after he threw
a pass, drawing a roughing-the-passer penalty. Barkley left to get the knee
examined and didn't return.
Driskel is a third-year player who broke the thumb on his passing had in the final preseason game last year and sat out the season. He has never appeared in
an NFL game. The Bengals also waived seventh-round pick Logan Woodside, who is
eligible to be signed to the practice squad if he clears waivers on Sunday.
The backup quarterback spot opened when AJ McCarron won his grievance and became a free agent after last season.
The Bengals also released 10th-year defensive end Michael Johnson as part of their moves to get down to the 53-man limit, although it could be a temporary
separation. Johnson becomes a free agent and could re-sign with Cincinnati for
lesser money.
Johnson has played all but one of his nine seasons with Cincinnati. He led the defensive line with 49 tackles and five sacks last season. The Bengals have
infused young pass rushers into their rotation
Bryan Little Jersey , including Carl Lawson and Jordan Willis.
Coach Marvin Lewis described Johnson as "one of those pillars who has been here and given everything he can." Lewis indicated the Bengals are open to his
return as they shape the roster over the next few days.
The move with Johnson came four days after the Bengals gave multiyear extensions to defensive end Carlos Dunlap and tackle Geno Atkins. The deals
would pay more than $100 million combined if all terms are met.
The Bengals allowed cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones to leave as a free agent in the offseason and released safety George Iloka, making the defense younger
while saving money. Jones signed with Denver, and Iloka signed with
Minnesota.
H-back Ryan Hewitt and center T.J. Johnson also were released on Saturday. Hewitt was primarily a blocker ??no carries and two catches last season ??while
Johnson became expendable when the Bengals drafted center Billy Price in the
first round.
Linebacker Vontaze Burfict went on the suspended list. He'll miss the first four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances,
the third year in a row that he's suspended for the start of a season.
Cincinnati opens the season on Sunday, Sept. 9 at Indianapolis
Mike Green Jersey , which expects to have Andrew Luck back at quarterback for the first time in more than 20 months. Luck has recovered from a
shoulder injury that required surgery.
The teams played in the regular season last year as well, with the Bengals winning 24-23 at Paul Brown Stadium on Dunlap's interception return for a
touchdown.
