Miami (AFP) - Miami Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan is to be suspended for the entirety of the upcoming 2015 season after violating the NFL's drug policy for the third time in two years, reports said Tuesday.

The 25-year-old linebacker is facing a season on the sidelines after a sample was found to be diluted, indicating he may have been attempting to mask a substance in his system, NFL.com reported.

Jordan will not appeal the latest suspension to stall his career, reports said, which comes after he was suspended for six games last season for separate offences.
