Former Bronco RB Henry due in court

DENVER -- Former starting Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry is due in federal court this afternoon for a preliminary and detention hearing after being arrested following an alleged cocaine deal. He faces one count of conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute cocaine.

If convicted, Henry could face up to life in federal prison and a $4 million fine.

Henry signed a five-year, $22.5 million contract with the Broncos before the 2007 season, but was dogged during training camp by a sprained left knee.

Henry was released from the Broncos June 2, when coach Mike Shanahan said his commitment was lacking.
