FLORHAM PARK, N.J.� New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards is in Cleveland for a court appearance while the team practices for its AFC divisional playoff game against San Diego Chargers.
Edwards was at a Cleveland court Tuesday after pleading not guilty in November to a misdemeanor assault charge after he was accused of punching a man outside a downtown nightclub.
The former Browns receiver was traded to the Jets two days after he was accused of punching a friend of NBA star LeBron James on Oct. 5.
Edwards is expected to return to the Jets� facility later Tuesday, participate in team meetings and receive the game plan for the matchup at San Diego on Sunday.
