The
Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Rich Bernat said Henry, who was arrested and charged with assault and criminal damaging last month, is free to leave home if he has a work-related reason to do so.
"We're willing to give him some latitude given the fact that he obviously needs to find some employment," Bernat said.
But the question is whether any team would actually give Henry -- a mediocre player and a repeated violator of the league's personal-conduct policy -- a tryout. Henry's lawyer says he has an offer; the judge says Henry gets to go to the tryout just as soon as a team puts its tryout offer in writing. We'll see whether Henry can produce the offer, but for now the safe bet is that Henry will not play in the NFL in 2008.
