(AP) -- Missouri linebacker Will Ebner returned to
the practice field, two days after being arrested on suspicion of
driving while intoxicated.

 Ebner, a junior, was third on the team with 78 tackles last
year. He had been working with the second team but Tuesday had been
demoted to third string.

 A sheriff's deputy stopped Ebner at 1 a.m. Sunday after noticing
his SUV swerving. An arrest report said Ebner had bloodshot eyes
and incoherent speech and failed a breath-alcohol test.

 Ebner was released from the county jail after posting a $500
bond, and faces a Sept. 16 court appearance.

 A team spokesman says any disciplinary action would be handled
internally.
