The NFL has suspended Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton for the next four games, it was announced on Monday. The move will allow Walton to return to the team after their Week 13 game. Walton will miss Dolphins games at the Indianapolis Colts, versus the Buffalo Bills, at the Cleveland Browns, and versus the Philadelphia Eagles.
Walton will be allowed to attend team meetings during the suspension, but he will not be allowed to practice or play in any games. According to the Palm Beach Post’s Joe Schad, the Dolphins were aware of the possibility of a suspension for Walton prior to the team trading running back Kenyan Drake to the Arizona Cardinals last week.
