Colts DL Gill likely benchedafter arrest

ANDERSON, Ind. — Indianapolis Colts reserve defensive lineman John Gill isn’t expected to play for the team this season after a public intoxication arrest over the weekend.

Team president Bill Polian said Monday that he expects the NFL to place Gill in a roster category that would keep him inactive this season.

Gill was arrested early Sunday after Indianapolis police found him passed out in a ditch. A police report said Gill tried to stand but kept falling over.

The 23-year-old Gill was released from jail after the charge was dropped. Gill played in two games as a rookie with the Colts last season.
