Pierre-Louis to serve 1-game suspension for violating NFL policy

New York Jets linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis has been suspended one game for a violation of the league's policy on substances of abuse.

Pierre-Louis was arrested in January as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs and charged with several misdemeanors, including marijuana possession.

In March, shortly after signing with the Jets, Pierre-Louis reached a plea deal in Johnson County, Kansas. The marijuana charge will be dropped if he successfully completes a one-year probationary period.

Pierre-Louis signed a two-year, $5.25 million contact with the Jets, including a $2.5 million guarantee. The Jets envision him as a backup and special-teams contributor. He didn't play in Friday night's preseason opener because of an undisclosed injury.

Neville Hewitt just made the team.

The Jets are not going to deal with this nonsense from some marginal jackass.

Unless there is a written off set for breaking league policy or drug suspension, then more than likely Pierre-Louis made the team.

Agreed. I didn't know that, but in that case they are almost forced to keep him.
