Buffalo Bills' Marcell Dareus suspended for one game

Just like last year, the Bills will be without a key defender for their season opener: last year, it was Nigel Bradham, and this year, it'll be Marcell Dareus.

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus has been suspended for one game of the 2015 season, the NFL announced on Thursday afternoon.

The suspension comes after two separate legal situations from last season came to a close earlier this spring. Dareus' suspension relates only to one of those, though: a drug arrest that violated the league's substance abuse program.

Dareus will miss the team's Week 1 game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, September 13.
