Bradley Chubb detained on failure-to-appear warrant

Denver Broncos star outside linebacker Bradley Chubb was detained on Tuesday after failing to appear for his Aug. 6 court date, per Mark Klis of 9News.

Chubb was scheduled to appear in court for driving under restraint and for having expired license plates.

Chubb was charged May 6 for misdemeanor driving under restraint and also for having his license plates expired for 60-plus days.

The Broncos told Klis in a statement that Chubb has resolved the issue.

“We are aware of the matter, which was released to an unresolved traffic issue that has now been addressed,” the Broncos said in a statement.

Per Klis, Sgt. Jeff Miller of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said Chubb was stopped late Tuesday morning for a “minor traffic infraction” and was detained after the warrant was discovered. Chubb was detained until Tuesday afternoon when he posted “a small bond.”

Chubb has previously been ticketed for speeding 10-19 mph over the limit in 2019 and 2020.

Chubb was detained just five days away from the regular season-opening game Sunday against the New York Giants in New Jersey.

This offseason, Chubb, underwent from ankle surgery in mid-May and returned to play the final two preseason games. He missed last week’s practices after injuring his non-surgically repaired ankle but returned to practice Monday.

Broncos head coach Vic Fangio previously said he believes Chubb will be able to play in the Broncos’ regular season-opening game Sunday against the New York Giants.

Bradley Chubb is entering his fourth season in the NFL. Chubb was the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. As a rookie, Chubb burst on the scene opposite perennial Pro Bowl linebacker Von Miller. In 16 games, Chubb recorded 60 tackles, 12 sacks and 14 tackles for loss.

Last season, Chubb played in 14 games and recorded 42 tackles, nine tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. Chubb earned his first Pro Bowl selection.

Coming out of North Carolina State, Chubb recorded 198 tackles, 25 sacks and 54.5 tackles for loss in four seasons. As a senior, Chubb was a unanimous All-American, earned the Bronco Nagurski Trophy and the Ted Hendricks Award. Chubb recorded 72 tackles, 23 tackles for loss and ten sacks in his final collegiate season before declaring for the NFL.
