The NFL on Monday suspended Dolphins backup defensive end Jason Jones without pay for violating the league's substance abuse policy. According to a league source, the league suspended Jones because of an offseason incident in which he operated a vehicle while intoxicated.
"I want to reiterate my apology to my teammates, coaches and the Dolphins organization," Jones said. "Fortunately, no one was hurt because of my actions. This is something I learned from and have taken the proper steps to ensure this will never happen again."
The Dolphins, in a statement, said they "were disappointed when we were made aware" of the incident and that Jones "has fulfilled his legal obligations."
