Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin has been arrested on misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana and unlawful carrying of a weapon in Texas. The incident occurred on Saturday, leading to his short stay at the Collin County Jail, from which he was released the following day. The specifics surrounding the arrest remain unclear, and the league's response in terms of potential discipline is still uncertain.

Turpin's career has been marred by off-field issues, including a previous assault charge during his time at TCU, which resulted in his expulsion from the team. Despite these challenges, he had an impressive run with the Cowboys, earning two Pro Bowl selections and posting career stats of 420 receiving yards with two touchdowns last season and leading the league in kick return yards and touchdowns.
