Jets' Aboushi suspended for season opener

The NFL announced on Thursday that Jets backup guard Oday Aboushi has been suspended without pay for the first game of the regular season for violating its substances abuse policy and program.

According to a press release from the Morris Plains (N.J.) police department obtained by Newsday on Friday morning, police pulled over Aboushi at 8:39 p.m. on Jan. 10 for a motor violation. During the stop on Route 10 East, officers detected "the odor of burnt marijuana" coming from the player's black Cadillac Escalade.

Aboushi, 24, was cooperative with officers and provided consent to search his vehicle, according to the release.
