It turns out Cowboys wide receiver Lucky Whitehead is facing some legal trouble, and it couldn’t be coming at a worse time. Whitehead missed his arraignment date for a previously unknown shoplifting charge, according to TMZ.

Whitehead was arrested for misdemeanor petty larceny in Virginia back in June. He was scheduled for arraignment on July 6th, but he never showed. Now, he’s a wanted man with a warrant out for his arrest.
The 25-year-old has served as the Cowboys’ return man for the last two seasons, but he is on the bubble this summer in part because of his limited abilities on offense. Between 2015 and 2016, he averaged 25.6 yards per kick return and 6.9 yards per punt return. Meanwhile, he had just nine receptions for 64 yards. His off-the-field issues could further hurt his chances of making the final cut.
The Cowboys are already dealing with multiple off-the-field incidents that could impact the availability of key players like running back Ezekiel Elliott and linebacker Damien Wilson. Whitehead’s situation could prove to be more trouble that it’s worth for the Cowboys.
Dang, liked him as a player but he has to be cut. Is anybody even coaching this team? The players are just doing whatever they want, its like an episode of ballers
It had to said….”Lucky not so Lucky”.
Sorry. 🙁
Cowboys already in mid-season criminal form….
Every team has them Sam I Am
Shoplifting…Freaking shoplifting!! WTF!
As big a problem as this is with Dallas recently, the entire NFL has far too many players with legal troubles. We definitely do not hear about these types of things nearly as much with the other pro leagues.
