Source: Britt violated curfew

A person familiar with the situation said Browns wide receivers Kenny Britt and Corey Coleman were sent home last week from Houston after missing a team curfew.

Britt and Coleman were fined and apologized to the team, said the person who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team is not commenting on the matter.

Britt has been a major disappointment in his first season with the Browns, who signed him to a four-year, $32.5 million contract in March. He has eight catches for 121 yards in four games and has been plagued by dropped passes and penalties. NFL Network first reported the issues with Britt and Coleman. Suspended Bulls forward Bobby Portis offered an apology to injured teammate Niko Mirotic in his first public comments since punching Mirotic in the face in practice on Oct. 17.

The fight cost the Bulls their top two power forwards. Mirotic suffered two fractured bones and a concussion and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks. Portis was suspended eight games.

Portis said before Chicago’s home opener against the Spurs that he has reached out to Mirotic but has not received a response.

“I’m wrong for what I did,” Portis said. “I want to publicly apologize to Niko. I feel like I let my fans, the Bulls organization and most importantly my teammates down. This is not who Bobby Portis is.”
