Linebacker Telvin Smith has been arrested in Jacksonville and charged with unlawful sexual activity with certain minors, according to Jacksonville Sheriff's Office records (via ESPN's Michael DiRocco).
Smith's status in the NFL has been up in the air since last May's announcement that he would not play football in 2019 and instead "get his world in order."
The former Jaguars star was booked into Duval County Jail at 5:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday with bail set at $50,003.
The Jaguars placed Smith on the team's reserve/retired list last July, which would allow him to rejoin the team should he file for reinstatement after taking a sabbatical. According to an Instagram post from Smith in January, the linebacker turned down "a few" offers to return to the field, adding later that he was trying to "get this right" for his kids.
