Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Dee Eskridge has been suspended by the NFL for six games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
“We are aware of the situation involving Dee Eskridge and have followed league and law enforcement protocol,” the Seahawks wrote in a statement.
Eskridge is allowed to participate in practice and preseason games, but he won’t be allowed to play in Seattle’s first half-dozen regular season games. With an early bye week, he won’t be eligible to return until Week 7 (Oct. 22) against the Arizona Cardinals.
Drafted in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Eskridge has spent much of his brief Seahawks career unavailable due to injury, and he’s been ineffective while on the field.
