Davie, FL (SportsNetwork.com) – Miami Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan has been suspended again.<\/p>\n
The NFL announced Friday that Jordan’s previously imposed four-game suspension has been lifted, per the terms of the NFL’s new drug policy. However, Jordan has been suspended without pay for the next four games, this time for a violation of the NFL’s Policy and Program on Substances of Abuse.<\/p>\n
The 2013 first-round pick will be eligible to return to the Dolphins’ active roster on Oct. 20 following the team’s Week 7 game against the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n
In July, Jordan was suspended for a violation of the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.<\/p>\n
“I am currently undergoing treatment to address my situation,” Jordan said in a statement. “I am working hard to become a better man and to make better choices in the future. I am especially looking forward to returning to the team. I also want to thank my family, Coach (Joe) Philbin and the Miami Dolphins organization for their support.”<\/p>\n
Jordan, the No. 3 overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft, played in all 16 games for Miami in his rookie campaign, compiling 26 tackles and two sacks.<\/p>\n
“While we were disappointed to learn of this result, we support Dion for proactively taking steps to voluntarily seek treatment to better himself,” Philbin said in a statement. “We will continue to support and work with him as he takes advantage of all available resources during this time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
