Cleveland Browns outside linebacker Armonty Bryant pleaded guilty on Wednesday to lesser charges stemming from an arrest last December.

According to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal, Bryant pleaded guilty to attempted drug possession - a first-degree misdemeanor - after being initially indicted on two charges of felony drug possession.

Bryant had pleaded not guilty to the prior two charges back in February.

Bryant has already been suspended for the first four games of the season due to violations of the league’s performance-enhancing drugs policy. Further discipline could be levied from the league for his guilty plea in this case. Per Ulrich, a league spokesman said the incident “will be reviewed under our policies.”

Bryant appeared in 14 games for Cleveland last season and finished the year with 5.5 sacks.
