Former NFL wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was arrested earlier this week for insurance fraud, TMZ Sports reported on Friday.

Jeffery, a Pro Bowl selection with the Chicago Bears and a Super Bowl LII champion with the Philadelphia Eagles, was booked in a jail in California on Wednesday morning and later released, per the report.

Further details were not immediately available. Jeffery, 36, could face up to five years in prison if convicted of the felony charge, according to TMZ Sports.

A second-round pick by Chicago in 2012, Jeffery caught 475 passes for 6,786 yards and 46 touchdowns in 109 career games with the Bears (2012-16) and Eagles (2017-20).
