OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks say wide receiver Greg Ellingson was charged Friday with failing to provide a breath sample into a roadside screening device.

The Redblacks said in a statement Saturday morning that Ellingson will not participate in team activities while they “continue to collect information in this case.”

The team did not say where the incident occurred.

Ellingson, a 29-year-old from Tampa, Fla., had five touchdowns and 1,086 yards for Ottawa this season.
