San Diego Chargers safety Terrence Kiel was arrested Tuesday on drug-related charges, sources close to the team told ESPN.com's Chris Mortensen.
The sources said several plain clothes DEA agents appeared at the Chargers' facility Tuesday morning with an arrest warrant, searched his locker and car, and took Kiel away.
The Chargers, who are coming off a bye week, were on the practice field at the time.
The exact nature of the charges is not known. Kiel was booked and released after posting $150,000 bond.
Chargers officials were not returning phone calls Tuesday night. Kiel and his agent also could not be reached for comment.
Kiel is the starting strong safety for the 2-0 Chargers, who play the 3-0 Ravens on Sunday. Kiel's status for the game is unclear.
A rookie in 2003, Kiel was expected to start that season for the Chargers before he was shot three times in an attempted carjacking in Houston in July of that year.
