Aldon Smith Reportedly Checks Himself into Rehab: Latest Details, Reaction

Oakland Raiders outside linebacker Aldon Smith has reportedly checked into a treatment center.

TMZ Sports reported Friday the decision came after a video that allegedly showed Smith smoking a blunt was posted online. He denied it was him in the video, and the report noted it's unclear why he's seeking treatment. Bill Williamson of FanRag Sports confirmed he has checked into a facility.

Ed Werder of ESPN.com previously reported the NFL is investigating the incident. The video in question featured a conversation between a man and a woman but never showed their faces. It ended with the man stating: "They don't know it's me. It's not like I put 'Aldon Smith.'"

Smith was quick to post a message on social media after speculation began to swirl since he had used the Periscope account "ravenga," where the video was posted, in the past, according to ESPN.com:

"

Good try, not me

The 26-year-old defender is already serving a one-year suspension handed down by the league last November for violating its Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.

Smith was also suspended for nine games—four for substances of abuse and five for violating the personal conduct policy—in 2014. In addition, he missed around a month of action in 2013 after a prior stint in a substance-abuse rehab center.

The Missouri product was arrested in 2014 for allegedly making a bomb threat after becoming "belligerent and uncooperative" at Los Angeles International Airport, per Lorenzo Reyes of USA Today. No charges were filed in the case.

Smith has been effective on the field in between his off-field issues. The linebacker has registered 180 combined tackles, 47.5 sacks and five forced fumbles in 59 career games with the Raiders and San Francisco 49ers since being selected in the first round of the 2011 draft.
