Houston Texans rookie running back D’Onta Foreman tests negative for marijuana, following his arrest in Austin on misdemeanor drug and weapons charges last Sunday.
Foreman, who is a former Texas Longhorn, was detained by campus police who responded to a report of marijuana coming from several cars in a dormitory parking lot. Foreman’s attorney says his client told police about the firearm in his vehicle. He says the gun was legal, and Foreman was not smoking pot.
Foreman won the Doak Walker Award as the nation’s top running back last season, after rushing for more than 2,000 yards. The Texas City native was the Texans third round draft pick.
The Texans open training camp on July 26. Foreman is scheduled to appear in court July 31.
