NFL suspends Browns backup guard Alvin Bailey 2 games as result of OVI

The NFL announced Thursday it suspended Browns backup left guard Alvin Bailey without pay for the next two games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.

Bailey will be eligible to return to the active roster on Christmas Day after the Browns host the San Diego Chargers on Dec. 24.

Bailey pleaded no contest to operating a vehicle impaired and was found guilty Nov. 3 in North Royalton Mayor's Court. The suspension is a result of the OVI.

When police arrested Bailey on Sept. 26 in North Royalton, he had a blood-alcohol content of .147 and officers found marijuana in his pickup truck, according to the police report.
