Martellus Bennett Apologizes for Nude Photos

SAN ANTONIO — Dallas Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett is apologizing for nude pictures of himself that have been posted online.

In a statement released Monday by the team, Bennett says the pictures were taken four years ago and were recently posted online without his knowledge or consent.

Bennett, who didn't say who took or posted the pictures, says he understands "they are totally inappropriate" and regrets "the embarrassment that it has caused the organization."

Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple says the matter has been discussed with Bennett and will be addressed "further on an internal basis."
