The NFL suspended Dolphins back-up defensive end Jason Jones today for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. He be off the active roster this weekend against San Francisco and the following week at Baltimore.
Jones was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated during the offseason, a league source said.
“Jason notified the team of this situation when it occurred and has been in regular contact with the NFL, team officials and his coaches throughout the process,” the Dolphins said in a statement. “We were disappointed when we were made aware. Jason recognized and apologized for his lapse in judgment and has fulfilled his legal obligations.
