JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Suspended Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon has been arrested in Oklahoma on a complaint of marijuana possession. Blackmon, a former standout at Oklahoma State, was arrested Wednesday evening in the Oklahoma City suburb of Edmond. Police said they noticed his sedan go around stopped traffic in an attempt to get into a turn lane. Police spokeswoman Jenny Monroe said an officer detected a "heavy smell of marijuana" coming from the car, and that Blackmon admitted had smoked "a blunt" while driving and had another in his vehicle. Blackmon was arrested and booked into the Edmond jail, where he posted $657 bond. Blackmon was suspended without pay indefinitely last November for repeated violations of the NFLs substance-abuse policy. The Jaguars have been hesitant to cut the fifth overall pick in the 2012 draft. "I know our policy right now, I believe, is its not putting us in a difficult situation having him still be part of our organization in this capacity," Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said Thursday. "Its really hard by not having conversations with him. I really dont know how hes doing, where hes at. And then when we receive news like this, it creates more discussion. So Im sure those will be conversation well have (about) the direction well go." General manager Dave Caldwell and owner Shad Khan were scheduled to talk at a kickoff luncheon later in the day. Teammates seemed hardly surprised by Blackmons latest transgression. "Its just a difficult situation," quarterback Chad Henne said. "Its kind of ongoing. All we can do is pray that he finds a way to get on the right track and save his life." Added linebacker Paul Posluszny: "This is no longer a football issue. As his teammates, you hope he can do everything he can to get his life squared away. We feel for him and we obviously want the best for him because hes a good kid at heart. We want the best for him. We hope that he can come out of this. ... Hes a good guy. Hes fighting through some things now and hopefully hes able to fix that and get his life back on the right." Blackmon was suspended the first four games of last year for violating the leagues drug policy. He played four games before getting suspended again -- at least for a year. NFL rules prohibit the team from having any contact with Blackmon -- aside from texts -- during his suspension. With Blackmons uncertain future, the Jaguars drafted receivers Marqise Lee and Allen Robinson in the second round of Mays NFL draft. Both could get on the field right away, especially with fellow receiver Ace Sanders suspended the first four games of the season for violation the leagues drug policy. Blackmon has been involved in three substance-related incidents in three years. He was arrested on a misdemeanour DUI charge in Texas in 2010 after officers caught him speeding on a suburban Dallas highway. The charge was later reduced to an underage alcohol possession charge. A little more than a month after the Jaguars drafted him, he was arrested during a traffic stop in Stillwater, Oklahoma, after a breath test allegedly showed his blood alcohol content to be three times the legal limit. A subsequent violation landed him the four-game suspension. Another one got him the indefinite suspension. Blackmon caught 29 passes for 415 yards and a touchdown in the four games he played last season. He was the teams leading receiver during that stretch. While Blackmon sat out the first four games, the Jaguars averaged 224 yards of total offence. In the four games he played, Jacksonville hiked its offensive output to just over 350 yards per game. He has 93 catches for 1,280 yards and six scores in 20 games -- all since Jacksonville traded up to draft him in 2012. "Right now, all I can say is Im just praying that he can get the help that he needs," Bradley said. Jason Kipnis Jersey . The Big Man finished 3-1 in Week 19, and sits at 53-24 on the season.

Rosehill dropped his gloves and challenged Paul Bissonnette, who obliged in what turned into a lengthy, two-round, blow-filled fight in front of the Philadelphia bench. The Flyers were a different team the rest of the way, as Jakub Voracek scored the winner with 8:08 left and the Philadelphia finished with four unanswered goals in a 5-3 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night. "I thought it was a great job from Rosie," Flyers coach Craig Berube said. "Hes very smart at that. He picks the right spots and hes very good at his job." Scott Hartnell, Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds also scored for the Flyers and Claude Giroux added an empty-net goal with 30 seconds left. Steve Mason made several difficult saves late to preserve Philadelphias fourth win in five games out West. "I thought this trip changed our road mentality a little bit," Berube said. "We discussed and talked about a lot of the little things we have to do on the road to win hockey games." The little things are ailing the Coyotes, with Mike Smith struggling in goal again in a mistake-filled performance that left coach Dave Tippett lamenting "inconsistent" play and not ruling out roster changes. "Were at the halfway mark and Im sure (GM) Don (Maloney) and I will talk the next couple days," Tippett said. "Weve got to evaluate where we are and where we want to get to." Rob Klinkhammer, Lauri Korpikoski and Mikkel Boedker scored for the Coyotes, who led 3-1 late in the second period but couldnt hold on to spoil captain Shane Doans return from a rare illness. Simmonds tied it with 15:38 left when he knocked in a rebound on the power play for his team-high 14th goal and his ninth in as many games. Then Keith Yandles turnover in his own zone proved costly in Phoenixs second straight loss. Voracek collected the puck and beat Smith between the legs with a wrist shot. Philadelphia killed a late power play as Mason stopped 26 shots. The Coyotes struggled defensively as they played without one of their top defenceman, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, who was injured Thursday on a hit by Columbbus Derek MacKenzie that earned him a three-game suspension.dddddddddddd Not even Doans return from Rocky Mountain Fever could spark Phoenix. Doan last played Dec. 4 before he started getting headaches, joint pain and severe fatigue. He was eventually diagnosed with the rare disorder that affects the lining of blood cells and is often contracted from bites by ticks. Doan looked a step slow at times and his shifts were short. He logged 18:38 of ice time and his line failed to muster many scoring chances. "He was all right," Tippett said. "He probably played a few more minutes that I had planned on." After a scoreless first period in which the Coyotes went 0 for 3 on the power play, the teams combined for three goals in a 1:42 stretch early in the second. Klinkhammer and Korpikoski scored just over a minute apart to make it 2-0 Phoenix amid shaky back line play by the Flyers. Berube immediately called a timeout, and the Flyers responded 17 seconds later when Hartnell beat Smith on the glove side to extend his points streak to seven games. But the Coyotes answered again at 6:47. Catching the Flyers on a line change, Yandle threaded a pass to Boedker at the blue line, and he skated in alone on a breakaway for his career-high 12th goal. "These are games that in the past we would have played smart enough and our whole thing would have been sound enough where Philly felt like they played a really good game but didnt win," Tippett said. "We havent had that feeling enough this year yet." Shortly after the fight, the Flyers got within 3-2 with 2:45 left in the second period when Brayden Schenn banged in Vincent Lecavaliers no-look pass from behind the net. The comeback had begun. "I think if someone told us before the road trip that we would get eight points we would take it right away," Voracek said. "Its a huge win for us." NOTES: Tippett said it was up to Bissonnette on whether to engage Rosehill "Its his call, not mine," Tippett said. . Tippett said Ekman-Larsson playing Tuesday vs. Calgary is "certainly a possibility.". Michael Raffl (concussion) and Matt Read (upper body) sat out for Philadelphia. . Hartnell has 28 career goals against the Coyotes. ... The Flyers were returning home after the game, they play another road game Tuesday at New Jersey. ' ' ' |
