Chiefs lineman Roy Miller arrested for suspicion of domestic battery

Chiefs defensive tackle Roy Miller was arrested in Jacksonville, Fla., early Saturday morning.

He was taken into custody on suspicion of domestic battery at 4:53 a.m. and was not eligible for bond. He was scheduled to appear in court Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. in Jacksonville, according to jail records.

Miller has appeared in seven games this season and made two tackles, including one in the Chiefs' 28-17 loss to the Cowboys in Dallas on Sunday. The team has a bye this week.

The Chiefs issued the following statement:

"This morning we were informed about an incident involving one of our players, Roy Miller. We are still in the process of gathering details on the situation. We will have no further comment at this time."

Miller, who is 6-foot-2 and 318 pounds, joined the Chiefs in August. He played six games for the Jacksonville Jaguars last year before an Achilles injury ended his season.
