After being processed and released Saturday, the former University of Alabama-Birmingham standout traveled with the Broncos for a Sunday game in Oakland, Calif., which the Raiders won 34-20.

His arrest marked the second time in the past two months that a member of the Broncos has been arrested for allegedly driving under the influence.

Brandon Marshall was arrested Oct. 22 in Denver for suspicion of drunken driving, the Post said.

If convicted, both players could face mandatory suspensions from the league.
