Bengals cornerback Deltha O'Neal was inactive
for Cincinnati's game against Oakland on Sunday, a day after his
arrest on a drunken driving charge.
O'Neal missed the last three games with a shoulder injury, but
wasn't listed on the team's injury report Friday and was expected to
start.
The two-time Pro Bowl cornerback was the eighth Bengals player
arrested this year. Coach Marvin Lewis has made receiver Chris Henry
inactive for two games following off-field incidents. Henry has been
arrested four times in the last year and suspended by the NFL for
two games.
O'Neal was stopped at a traffic checkpoint in the suburbs early
Saturday. The State Highway Patrol said his blood-alcohol level was
0.10, above the state limit of 0.08.
