IN BRIEF

CLEVELAND Free on bail but facing serious legal charges, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth will get ready for an upcoming NFL season not knowing if he'll play.

Stallworth surrendered in court Thursday on charges that he was driving drunk when he struck and killed a pedestrian while returning from a night of partying in Miami Beach March 14. The 28-year-old Stallworth was released by Miami authorities after posting $200,000 bail.

Stallworth, who was expected to fly back to Cleveland, intends to resume voluntary workouts with the rebuilding Browns, who must now consider their options and the possibility they will not have the seven-year veteran on their roster next season.

The judge set an April 23 arraignment date for Stallworth to enter a plea. If convicted of DUI manslaughter, Stallworth faces a maximum of 15 years in prison.
