IOWA CITY (AP) - The sexual abuse trial of former Iowa football player Cedric Everson has been delayed yet again.

The judge in Everson's case granted a continuance on Wednesday because of concerns over the health of Everson's attorney.

Everson and former teammate Abe Satterfield were accused of assaulting a woman in a dormitory room in October 2007. Both men were charged in May 2008 with second-degree sexual abuse.

Their case had been delayed multiple times since. But Satterfield entered a written plea in April to assault with intent to inflict serious injury and agreed to turn state witnesses against Everson.

Satterfield's sentencing is set for July 23.
