Posted: Friday June 27, 2003 3:01 PM

NEW YORK (AP) -- New York Jets defensive tackle Josh Evans was suspended indefinitely Friday by the NFL for violating its substance-abuse policy for a third time.
Evans was suspended twice by the league for violating the policy during six seasons with the Tennessee Titans. He missed the first four games in 1999 and was suspended for the entire 2000 season.
Under the terms of the program, players who violate the substance-abuse policy after a one-year suspension are out indefinitely. Evans' reinstatement will be determined by commissioner Paul Tagliabue in consultation with medical experts.
"This is unfortunate and we're disappointed for Josh Evans," Jets general manager Terry Bradway said. "He worked hard and contributed to our program. We have to move on. We feel good about the players we have, and the depth at the position."

I won't loose any sleep over this one, but the jets just have had a crazy offseason..and you know what, they still have a good team. That's what's so scary about them.

Now only Dewayne Robertson a rookie to worry about.

We'll run all over the Jets - we'll have linemen on Cowart all day now.
