HOUSTON (AP) -- Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Johnny Jolly Jr. faces a Sept. 16 court date on a felony drug possession charge.

Court records say the 25-year-old football player was arrested July 8 in Houston for possession of at least 200 grams of a controlled substance. He was originally due back in court today, but that date was reset for next month.

Jolly has refused to discuss his legal situation or the possibility of a league suspension with reporters.

A person who answered the phone at his attorney's office said lawyer Brian Overstreet had no comment.

The 6-foot-3, 320-pound Jolly played in 47 games and started 35 for Texas A&M from 2002-05. He was selected by the Packers in the sixth round of the 2006 NFL draft.
