PRO FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE NFL : Dorsett Posts Bail on Gun Charge

Former Dallas Cowboy running back Tony Dorsett, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame July 30, posted $200 bail for illegally carrying a gun, police officials in Dallas said.

Dorsett, 40, was arrested when officers found a .380-caliber gun in his car after pulling him over for speeding.

Dorsett said an officer recommended he carry the gun for protection after his home recently was burglarized.

Meanwhile, free agent Frank Cornish, the Cowboys’ top reserve offensive lineman, signed with the Minnesota Vikings.

Cornish, who started five games at center over the past two seasons, signed a one-year contract worth $350,000.
