The New England Patriots say that an offensive lineman who's facing a drug possession charge will remain on the team.
But team spokesman Stacey James had no comment Friday on any disciplinary action the team might take against Nicholas Kaczur, saying it was an internal matter.
Kaczur was arrested in New York state April 27 after police found a small amount of OxyContin in his truck following a traffic stop.
Kaczur then helped federal authorities catch the man who was allegedly supplying him with the drug.
Kaczur declined to speak with reporters at Patriots minicamp in Foxborough on Friday.
His alleged supplier, 35-year-old Daniel Ekasala of Saugus, is free on bail after pleading not guilty to charges including possession of oxycodone with intent to distribute.
