COURT DATE: Bengals rookie wide receiver Chris Henry has a court date at 8:30 a.m. today in Kenton District Court on traffic charges.

He was stopped Nov. 2 on Interstate 75 southbound near Erlanger and cited for speeding, failing to produce proof of insurance, an expired temporary tag and an expired driver's license.

Henry faces a second date Jan. 13 in Kenton District Court on his arrest Dec. 15 in Covington for marijuana possession.

Why did the NFL not drug test Henry the next day? Doesn't make the most sense to test players after they're caught for possession? I don't want Henry suspended, but this just seemed logical to me.

Quite simply because the agreement with the NFLPA is for RANDOM testing unless a player is convicted of a crime. They can't show up without it being random to test a player unless he's already convicted. Now, will the tests be put on him the next time they show up at PBS to do some testing? Most likely. Can they, according to contracts with the NFLPA, schedule a visit to test him in particular? No.

At least he got caught with the goods! Alot better and straight up than being caught with the Whizinator.... :cheers:

I see a slap on the wrist by the courts...

Just two of the traffic related charges were straightened out or dropped they said - they will have no bearing on his posession charge.

If it's his first posession offense - he'll just get a fine.

Once convicted the league I'm sure will put him in a program and test him regularly for a period of time. Hopefully he'll only get a game or two at the most as far as a suspension goes, and take into account Marvin deactivating him against the Lions.

Could that deactivation against DET be retroactive??? And be considered one of his suspended games if indeed he is suspended???

probably not....They will view that as a "team" thing, not a league thing....
