Green Bay Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly appeared briefly in a Houston courtroom to answer refiled charges he illegally possessed at least 200 grams of codeine.
Jolly, 26, whose hometown is Houston, was indicted by a Harris County grand jury for a second time last week, five months after prosecutors dismissed a similar charge stemming from a traffic stop a year and a half ago.
The charges were dropped in July so lab technicians could become proficient with a new piece of equipment that measures codeine, Harris County district attorney officials said.
Jolly, who has posted $10,000 bond, has said he is innocent.
