The NFL suspended Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones for five games on Friday for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
Jones, 29, will have to sit out the season’s first five games without pay and will be eligible to return for a Week 6 game at Green Bay on Oct. 13.
Jones was arrested last November and charged with misdemeanor domestic battery causing bodily harm following an alleged altercation with the mother of his child. Florida prosecutors dropped the case in March.
He caught 34 passes for 321 yards and two touchdowns in nine games (seven starts) with the Jacksonville Jaguars last season.
After being released by the Jaguars in April, Jones signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals worth up to $2.25 million.
Jones has 287 catches for 3,028 yards and 18 touchdowns in 104 games (67 starts) with the Buffalo Bills (2017-19), Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders (2019-21) and Jaguars. Buffalo drafted him in the second round in 2017.
