Cornerback Convicted

Rams cornerback Darryl Henley and four other men were convicted in Santa Ana, Calif., of running a cocaine ring.

Henley, 28, who played with the Rams last year while free on bond, was accused of financing an operation that packed cocaine at his home in Brea, Calif., for sale in Memphis, Tenn., and Atlanta.

Steve Stonebreaker, 56, an NFL linebacker who played in the 1960s with the Baltimore Colts and New Orleans Saints, died of an apparent suicide in his River Ridge, La., home.

The Houston Oilers released safety Bubba McDowell and officially signed quarterback Chris Chandler, formerly with the University of Washington.
