Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Michael Davis has been suspended two games without pay for a violation of the substance abuse policy, the league announced Friday.
Davis took over the permanent starting role after the team released CB Trevor Williams on Oct. 7. In nine starts for the Chargers, Davis has amassed 27 tackles and an interception.
With Davis missing the next two contests, CB Brandon Facyson will get the start opposite of Casey Hayward. Facyson started in two games while Williams and Davis were both dealing with injuries near the beginning of the season.
Davis is eligible to return after Week 14.
General manager Tom Telesco released an official team statement in regards to Davis’ suspension:
Michael is a good person who made a significant mistake this past offseason for which he must be held accountable. He will grow from this experience and, once back, continue to represent Chargers and NFL in a positive manner.
