The Cleveland Browns are heading into the 2024 season expecting to compete for a playoff spot for the second year in a row. This time they hope to have a healthy Deshaun Watson all season under center.
However, there is another player who will be going through some off the field issues prior to the start of the season.
Cleveland Browns Have One Player Being Arrested After Horrible Accident
According to an article by ESPN:
Cleveland Browns defensive end Lonnie Phelps was charged with drunken driving Wednesday night after police said he crashed his SUV into a Florida restaurant.
Phelps also faces a charge for damaging property following the incident at the Red Shoe Island Bistro in Key West.
Phelps, 23, was taken into custody after refusing to cooperate with officers, according to a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office report obtained by Cleveland.com.
Photographs reportedly from the scene were posted online by TMZ Sports and showed a vehicle wedged into the side of the restaurant. Reports estimated the damages at $300,000.
Phelps signed with the Browns as an undrafted free agent in May 2023, and he spent last season on their practice squad. Cleveland signed him to a reserve/future contract in January.
Phelps played college football at Miami (Ohio) from 2019 to ’21 and at Kansas in 2022. He recorded 23 sacks and 29.5 tackles for loss in 41 games.
