New Eagles Player Arrested, Tased Near Team Building: Report

PHILADELPHIA, PA — A recently acquired Philadelphia Eagles football player has been arrested after reportedly getting into an altercation with police in South Philadelphia. Cornerback Daryl Worley was arrested around 6 a.m. Sunday morning after allegedly becoming "combative" with police, sources told the NFL Network.

Worley was zapped by a stun gun during the incident, which happened near the team's Novacare complex at South Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, the network reported. A gun was also reportedly found at the scene.

The Eagles traded wide receiver Torrey Smith to the Carolina Panthers last month in exchange for cornerback Worley. He has yet to step on the field for the Eagles.
