Jets Player, Shaun Ellis, Suspended For Substance Abuse
New York Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis has been suspended without pay for the team’s regular-season opener and fined $100,000 by the NFL for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
The 31-year-old Ellis was arrested in November and charged with possession of marijuana, speeding and driving without insurance after being pulled over by police in Hanover, N.J., a few miles from the team’s training facility in Florham Park.
Ellis’ suspension means the Jets will be without two defensive starters for their season opener at Houston on Sept. 13. Linebacker Calvin Pace was suspended in July for four games without pay for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.
