Buffalo (AFP) - Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus was suspended for one game without pay by the National Football League on Thursday for a violation of its substance abuse policy.
The four-year veteran will miss Buffalo's season opener at home against the Indianapolis Colts but be able to take part in all off-season and pre-season workouts until the week of the opener.
"Last year, I made a mistake involving possession of a banned substance," Dareus said in a statement.
