The Miami Dolphins have agreed to terms with free-agent safety T.J. McDonald on Friday despite a recent eight-game suspension, a source told ESPN.
Terms of the contract were not immediately available.
McDonald learned of his suspension earlier this week during his free-agent visit with the Dolphins. The NFL found that McDonald violated its Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse after an incident in May in which he was suspected of driving under the influence of prescription drugs. McDonald pleaded no contest to a lesser charge in January.
The 26-year-old McDonald played in all 16 games for the Los Angeles Rams last season and recorded 64 tackles, two interceptions and one sack.
