Antonio Chatman is coming off his best game as a Bengal, and he'd like a lot more like it to follow. The sixth-year pro and University of Cincinnati product had six receptions for 70 yards and returned two punts for 31 yards in the overtime loss to the New York Giants.
{mosimage}Suspended Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman had a 90-day jail term for a drunken-driving conviction reduced to six days in treatment.
Hamilton County Municipal Judge John Burlew said today he was treating Thurman like any other first-time offender.
Thurman, 23, who is living in Monticello, Ga., where he grew up, also had his driver’s license suspended for six months and was placed on probation for two years.
Thurman was cited early the morning of Sept. 25 after a Cincinnati police officer stopped him on Kellogg Avenue in the East End. A Breathalyzer showed Thurman had a blood-alcohol level of .18, more than twice Ohio’s legal limit of .08, according to reports.
Thurman pleaded no contest to a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and was convicted in February.
Thurman was suspended for the 2006 season because of substance violations. He can apply for reinstatement this summer.
Since his arrest he has completed an in-patient treatment program as well an intensive outpatient treatment, he said in court.
