Despite his arrest, the night before, tight end Rico Gathers remained a member of the Cowboys when Dallas pared its roster to 53 Saturday afternoon.

Gathers was arrested Friday night in Frisco, Texas, on misdemeanor marijuana possession charges, according to multiple reports.

According to the Dallas Morning News, Frisco police smelled marijuana coming from a parked vehicle and found the tight end inside. Gathers, who reportedly was in possession of fewer than 2 ounces of marijuana, was taken to jail Friday night and released on bond Saturday morning.

The Cowboys selected Gathers, who played basketball at Baylor, in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He had not played football since middle school, and he has yet to play in a regular-season NFL game.
