CINCINNATI -- Former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL.

The Bengals released Henry on April 3 after he was arrested for the fifth time. Henry is scheduled for trial June 24 in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court on charges of assault and criminal damaging. A man accused Henry of punching him in the face and breaking his car window with a beer bottle.

Henry had received permission from the judge to try out with other NFL teams, but the suspension puts an end to that.

If Henry is acquitted, the suspension could be lifted, Henry's agent Marvin Frazier said. If Henry is convicted, he faces at least a one-season suspension under the league's conduct policy. Henry was suspended for the first eight games last season for violating the policy, his second suspension from the league during his three-year career.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed the indefinite suspension Friday.

Henry has been arrested five times since the Bengals made him a third-round draft pick out of West Virginia in 2005. His misconduct was one of the factors that prompted Goodell to tighten the league's policies last year and strengthen its punishment for players who get in trouble with the law.

Henry is the second former Bengal player trying to get back into the NFL with another team following a series of suspensions. Linebacker Odell Thurman, a second-round pick in 2005, was suspended earlier this month for the 2008 season after violating the league's substance abuse policy again.

Thurman sat out the last two seasons after skipping a drug test and getting arrested for drunken driving. He was reinstated by the league in April, but the Bengals released him last month after he skipped a series of voluntary workouts. Then, he was suspended again by the league.

• Official say Bills COO subpoenaed in Lynch probe: At Buffalo, N.Y., Bills chief operating officer Russ Brandon was served with a subpoena to appear before a grand jury looking into a hit-and-run accident involving an SUV registered to running back Marshawn Lynch.

A law enforcement official familiar with the case told The Associated Press on Friday that Brandon was served the subpoena late Thursday night. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person is not authorized to release that information.

Brandon is the latest member of the team to be subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury that will meet June 20 to consider the May 31 accident when Lynch's 2008 Porsche Cayenne sped off after hitting and injuring a female pedestrian.

Three Bills players, rookie receivers James Hardy and Steve Johnson and second-year offensive lineman Christian Gaddis, were subpoenaed earlier Thursday, along with a person police referred to as "a high-ranking member of the Bills security staff."

The Bills were not immediately available for comment on Friday, but have previously said they have cooperated with investigators.

Convening a grand jury is the latest attempt by investigators to get answers into what began as a routine investigation into a minor hit-and-run accident and, two weeks later, has dominated headlines and left authorities frustrated and puzzled.

What troubles investigators is why this case wasn't wrapped up earlier based on a crime that's considered a Class A misdemeanor because the pedestrian sustained only minor injuries. Instead, investigators have been left to complain about the lack of cooperation they say has come from Lynch and the team. Erie County District Attorney Frank Clark declined comment on Friday except to release a statement saying he would not subpoena Bills owner Ralph Wilson, whom investigators tried to speak to at the team's facility on Thursday.

Clark previously referred to convening a grand jury as "a last resort," and also suggested this case should have been closed earlier and with far less publicity.

"It's a misdemeanor. What are we going to do? Fine him $500?" Clark told the AP last week, when he said he thought Lynch was inside the SUV, and presumably was driving it. "If you're making $4 million, a $500 fine isn't really going to hold you. Are you going to get heart palpitations over that? I think not."

• Redskins sign fourth-round pick: At Ashburn, Va., the Washington Redskins have signed fourth-round draft pick cornerback Justin Tryon.

Tryon finished with 103 tackles and four interceptions in 26 games at Arizona State. He also returned 12 kickoffs for a 31-yard average in college. He was the 124th overall pick in April's NFL draft.

The Redskins also released safety Patrick Ghee on Friday.

• Coroner says ex-Bills lineman died of thick heart muscle: At Kittanning, Pa., a coroner says former Buffalo Bills lineman Mitch Frerotte died of a thickening of the heart muscle, a condition that can cause sudden death.

The coroner said Friday that Frerotte's family has a history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The American Heart Association calls it the most common cause of sudden death in young athletes.

Frerotte was 43 when collapsed and died suddenly Wednesday at home in Kittanning, about 30 miles from Pittsburgh. He played for the Bills in 1987, then during their Super Bowl seasons of 1990-92. He played mostly as a reserve and on special teams.

• Marcus Vick arrested in Virginia for DUI: At Norfolk, Va., former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick has been charged with driving under the influence and eluding police.

Police said a uniformed bicycle patrol officer observed Vick and a female involved in an altercation in the car early Friday. When the officer asked for a driver's license, police say Vick sped away but was stopped minutes later.

Vick failed a field sobriety test and was charged with DUI, misdemeanor eluding police, reckless driving and driving on a suspended license. The passenger, Delicia Cordon of Miami, Fla., was charged with being drunk in public.

Vick was released by the Miami Dolphins in 2007. He is the brother of former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick.
