EXCLUSIVE
Ex-NFL player Todd Marinovich is back in rehab … TMZ Sports has learned.
We spoke to Marinovich’s lawyer, Adam Cole, who tells us the former USC star checked himself into a Southern California treatment center this week.
As we previously reported, Marinovich was charged with several crimes — including meth possession and public nudity — after cops found him naked in a stranger’s backyard back in August.
The ex-QB was scheduled to appear in court this week, but couldn’t attend the hearing because he’s getting treatment. Cole says he’ll give the District Attorney, Danielle Mosh, proof that Marinovich is at a rehab facility.
This isn’t Marinovich’s first time getting help — he’s been to rehab numerous times for substance abuse issues.
