The list of NFL players to get arrested since the NFL lockout began expanded on Sunday when Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Akeem Jordan got arrested in connection with an incident in Hairrsonburg, Va.

The incident reportedly occurred in the parking lot outside a restaurant on Sunday, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

Police spokeswomen Mary-Hope Vass said that the 25-year-old got into a "verbal altercation, which led to a physical disorderly incident."
