Reuben Foster Headlines the NFL's Week in Suspensions

While the NBA dominated the first week of July with free agent mayhem, the NFL has taken a different tack. On Tuesday, the league announced a trio of suspensions. Packers running back Aaron Jones got two games for violating the substance abuse policy, as did Rams guard Jamon Brown. 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster got the same punishment, though the leauge specifically announced that he violated two different guidelines: the NFL's personal conduct and substance abuse policies.

The punishment came after Foster was charged with a misdemanor weapons charge (to which he pleaded no contest) and a misdemeanor marijuana charge (which was dropped after he completed a diversion program).
