Backup quarterback Jarred Evans has been suspended indefinitely by Cincinnati after he was arrested over the weekend on a misdemeanor assault charge.
Coach Tommy Tuberville said Tuesday that the junior college transfer won't be allowed to associate with the team until his case is settled. He has a court appearance scheduled for Nov. 4.
Police say Evans punched a man, causing him to fall and sustain a concussion and a cut that required stitches. Evans was arrested early Sunday morning.
