Ravens' Kenneth Dixon issued suspension for violating substance abuse policy
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon was suspended for the second time in six months Friday, when the NFL announced he is banned for an additional two games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
His latest suspension will start after the conclusion of a four-game ban, which was issued in March after he violated the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy.
Dixon will serve his suspensions while on injured reserve this season, meaning he will not have to miss additional games when healthy but will lose $190,588 in pay for the six games. He suffered a season-ending knee injury just before the start of training camp in late July.
