Colts DL Gill likely benched after 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. The Marion County prosecutor's office said Monday it reviewed the details of the arrest and determined that charges weren't warranted.

Gill played in two games as a rookie with the Colts last season.
