FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards refused to provide details about the misdemeanor assault charge he faces over accusations he punched a man outside a Cleveland nightclub.

In his first media availability since the charge was filed Monday, he said Wednesday it's ``still a legal matter,'' and ``we'll see what happens with that.''

The charge carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. An arraignment was scheduled for Nov. 17 in Cleveland Municipal Court. Edwards' attorney says his client will plead not guilty.

Edwards is accused of punching promoter Edward Givens, a friend of NBA star LeBron James, following an argument Oct. 5. Two days later, the Browns traded Edwards to the Jets.
