NFL promises 'significant discipline' for violations of alcohol policy in light of Todd Downing arrest

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell released a memo to all 32 league teams Friday re-emphasizing the league's policy that prohibits alcoholic beverages in team facilities and while traveling on team buses and planes, the NFL Network reported Friday.

The league's memo comes in light of Titans offensive coordinator Todd Downing's arrest for speeding and suspicion of driving under the influence early Friday morning, hours after the Titans' win at the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.

"In light of recent events, clubs are reminded that League policy prohibits alcoholic beverages, including beer, in locker rooms, practice or office facilities, or while traveling on team buses or planes at any time during the preseason, regular season or postseason," the memo released by NFL Network said.
