Gratz Cited for Disorderly Conduct

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Dwayne Gratz has been cited for disorderly intoxication and trespassing, according to a report from Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. 

“He had an unfortunate situation over the weekend so I expect to see him later this afternoon,” head coach Gus Bradley told O'Halloran after Gratz wasn't at the team's practice Monday. “I’ll meet with him and we’ll handle it internally. It’s not good what took place, but it is a matter we have to investigate even more when he gets back here."    

O'Halloran added more details from the report of the incident:

Gratz has played in nine games this season, accumulating 32 tackles and five pass deflections. He's had an up-and-down campaign and even lost his starting gig in early October to Demetrius McCray after he missed time with a concussion. Though he earned his starting job back, he has seemingly taken a step back after a promising rookie season, in which he had two interceptions in 10 games.

While the Jaguars were on a bye this week, Gratz's last game was a rough one for the young corner, as he was burned by Dez Bryant on a 68-yard touchdown pass and also missed a tackle on Bryant's 35-yard score.
