During the Eagles bye week, linebacker Nigel Bradham was arrested on a concealed weapons charge in Miami, Florida, according to TMZ Sports.

Here's what we know … the 27-year-old linebacker was popped in Miami on Sunday. He was hauled to a nearby station where he was booked for a 2nd degree misdemeanor concealed weapons charge. 

Officials tell us he was released from custody later that day on a $300 bond. 

This marks the second time in 2016 that Bradham has been arrested. In July, he was arrested on suspicion of assault at a Miami hotel after allegedly punching an employee. The Eagles released a brief statement on Tuesday following the report.
