hmmm... Musta knocked his dog out in an elevator!

I'm assuming this has to do with his marijuana possession arrest last summer.

[ServoBillieves]

Kiko's down, gotta plug in Nige... oh... Well for the first game we'll plug in Preston... (waiting for suspension/injury)

I thought substance abuse was an automatic 4game ban?? This has got to be different the abuse, maybe possession??

[The last buffalo fan]

At least he wasn't hitting a girl on her face!

Hopefully the Bills can find Leon Joe somewhere to be the opening day starter.

I believe the league has modified it's policy for weed... Either way I thought it's 1 game, 4 games, year, life.

[Skooby]

Can he appeal & just get a harsh language scolding ?

At least he wasn't hitting a girl on her face!

Evidently, dragging her out by the hair from an elevator cab just costs one more game.

My, how this world has changed since I was a lad...

He's a first time offender.

[Turf]

Didn't he get caught last year? Or was that synthetic stuff.

Exactly.

A one-game suspension might not seem like much, but you can only dress 46 out of your 53 man active list on game day. So a team not dripping with LB talent has to now make an extra jump through the roster-juggling hoop on a season-opening away game.

[Ed]

Substance abuse and possession aren't the same thing. Failed drug tests trigger automatic suspensions for a defined period of time. For other transgressions it's up to the commish.

[Luisito23]

This is from last year.

At least he only got 1 game.

[Ed]

So I guess this means that if Dareus does end up getting supsended, which now seems likely, it probably won't be until next season.

[Ed]

This is from last year.

At least he only got 1 game.

With the Ray Rice fiasco causing so much criticism, it's going to be pretty hard for Goodell to give out longer suspensions for non-violent misdemeanors.

[Homegrown]

No worries, Brandon Spoon is available...

[Fletch]

LMAO

Hence the 1 game instead of 2.

Bad things man, bad things!
