Ted Ginn Jr. is set to return to the Columbus Aviators' sideline this Friday, resuming his coaching duties after a one-game absence. The UFL confirmed to ESPN that Ginn missed the previous contest following his arrest over the weekend on a DWI charge.

Ginn, a former NFL first-round pick known for his blazing speed as a wide receiver and return specialist, transitioned to coaching after a prolific 14-year professional career. His return brings a veteran presence back to the Aviators' staff as the team navigates the UFL season.

While the legal process regarding the arrest is ongoing, the league's decision allows a respected figure in football circles to rejoin his team. Fans will be watching to see how his return impacts the Aviators' performance on the field this weekend.
