JACKSONVILLE:
Four Jacksonville Jaguars players were detained following an incident that occurred in London on Friday evening, the team acknowledged on Saturday.

“We are aware that four of our players were detained over restitution of a bill,” the Jaguars said in a statement to multiple media outlets. “The matter is being resolved and the players are with the team. Any discipline will be handled internally.”

The team did not confirm which players were detained. However, a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network lists safety Barry Church, safety Ronnie Harrison, cornerback D. J. Hayden, and safety Jarrod Wilson as those involved.

According to the report, the players ran up a sizeable bill at a club in London on Friday night, believing the bottles of liquor sent their way were comped. When the bill arrived, the players refused to pay it, leading to local police making arrests.

None of the players were charged with a crime and the issue was resolved, according to the report.

The Jaguars are in London to play the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Jacksonville has lost four of its last five games.
