Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman's attorney, Chip Lewis, said Friday his client tested negative for marijuana, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.

Lewis said Foreman volunteered to take a urinalysis test at a Houston lab in order to prove he didn't smoke any marijuana. The results came back Friday.

"The lab has returned D'Onta's results," Lewis said. "He is crystal clean, everything negative for any illicit drugs, marijuana, absolutely nothing."

The rookie was arrested in Austin last week on charges of marijuana and unlawful gun possession, but denied any wrongdoing, saying he owned the weapon legally and that the drugs were in the possession of a passenger.

"It illustrates what D'Onta has said since his arrest that he was not smoking marijuana. He did not possess marijuana." Lewis said. "It makes it clear that he was telling the truth. He was not using marijuana."

Lewis expressed his confidence that Foreman's charges will be dropped after the results of the test.
