Broncos CB Perrish Cox Due in Court

Denver Broncos rookie cornerback Perrish Cox is scheduled to appear in court on Friday, The Associated Press reports.

Cox, who turns 24 next week, was arrested on December 9 on sexual assault charges related to an incident from late October. Freed on $50,000 bail, Cox’s court appearance today is to determine whether or not he’ll be allowed to return to his hometown of Waco, Texas while his case is pending.

A 2010 fifth-round pick (137th overall) out of Oklahoma State, Cox started nine of 15 as a rookie, totaling 59 tackles, 1 interception, 14 passes defensed, and a pair of forced fumbles.

Cox also averaged 19.1 yards on 9 kick returns, returned three punts for 7 yards, and four of his 59 tackles were on special teams.
