HOUSTON -- Houston Texans wide receiver Jaelen Strong has been suspended for the team's Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

Strong was arrested in Arizona in February 2016 for possession of marijuana. Strong was riding in a car driven by Green Bay Packers cornerback Damarious Randall, a former teammate at Arizona State. Strong admitted to having the marijuana without a medical marijuana card and gave the arresting officer a box containing three marijuana cigarettes.

Strong is eligible to return to the Texans' active roster on Sept.
