Marquise Brown has not played a single game for the Arizona Cardinals but has already made headlines after he was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with criminal speeding.

According to Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves, Brown was arrested at 7:05 a.m. on Wednesday and released later that evening after a hearing in Maricopa County Superior Court.

He was pulled over after he was found to be driving 126 m.p.h. in a 65 m.p.h. zone. In Arizona, criminal speeding is defined as any individual who drives 20 m.p.h. above the posted speed limit. It is classified as a misdemeanor in the state.

The Cardinals released a statement about the incident.

“We are aware of the situation regarding Hollywood Brown and have reported it to the NFL office as required,” the Cardinals said on Wednesday. “We will comment further as appropriate.”

Cardinals’ head coach Kliff Kingsbury said the receiver was traveling from his home to State Farm Stadium for practice, adding that it was an “unfortunate” incident and Brown knows he “can’t be doing that.”

“Obviously, he knows he’s got to be better than that and he will be moving forward. Just glad he’s safe and we’re still working through the details of it all but glad to have him back,” he said.`

Brown was acquired during this year’s NFL Draft from the Baltimore Ravens for the 18th overall pick. Brown was the college teammate of Cardinals’ franchise quarterback Kyler Murray and was brought in to help him become a more complete quarterback.

His offense will also be needed after All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins was found to have violated the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy.

Brown entered training camp on the PuP list, but Kingsbury hoped that Brown would be ready to practice by sometime next week.

“We’ll see,” Kingsbury said. “We had hoped maybe this weekend, but we’re going to be smart. When he’s back, I want him full speed and confident. Playing in a new system, you don’t want him thinking too much about anything physically. He’s going to have enough thinking going on, so I would guess maybe this weekend.”

Brown’s next court appearance is scheduled for August 23.

Lamar Jackson, the face of football for the Baltimore Ravens, has tested positive for COVID-19. He was therefore absent from training camp on Wednesday, and will most likely be out of future training camp sessions. This is the second time in eight months Jackson has tested positive for the virus.

Jackson is unvaccinated and had tested negative five straight days before this positive result. Running back Gus Edwards also received a positive test alongside Jackson. Both will be isolated for a minimum of 10 days.

Backup Trace McSorley is expected to get the majority of reps with Jackson currently out. “To me, whenever you have a problem or whenever something comes up like that, you embrace it and you almost kind of rejoice in it because it’s an opportunity to improve somewhere else,” Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh said of this new shift in preparation for the season.

“When hiccups like this happen, all you can do is rally around that guy. Send our prayers and send our support. Hopefully, he’ll be back very soon,” said Marquise Brown, Jackson’s most talented target at the wide receiver position.

The Ravens anxiously await the return of their former MVP, who has carried Baltimore to the playoffs each of the three seasons he has played in the league.
