Longtime NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson has been released by the Miami Dolphins after his arrest over the weekend. Johnson is accused of head-butting his newlywed wife, authorities said.
The Dolphins announced Sunday on their website that they had terminated the contract of Johnson, who played a preseason game on Friday but had not participated in a regular season game with the team. No reason was given for his release.
Johnson and Evelyn Lozada, a cast member on the VH1 reality TV show “Basketball Wives,” married on July 4 and their time together is set to be subject of an upcoming show on the same network.
