Mark Walton will not be back on the field with his teammates until week 13 of the season after the NFL levied a suspension of four games on the former Bengals and current Dolphins starting running back.
Walton’s suspension is not a surprise. The “conduct detrimental” situation stems from three previous arrests and more off-field issues while Walton was with the Bengals. The Dolphins signed him earlier this off-season despite the pending charges. He has had no issues since joining the Dolphins and Miami was aware of the pending suspension.
Miami released a statement regarding the suspension and acknowledged that they had been in contact with the league for weeks.
