The Jets will begin next season without their starting tight end.
On Wednesday, the team announced Austin Seferian-Jenkins had been suspended by the NFL for two games after he violated the league's policy and program for substance abuse. He will be eligible to participate in all offseason and preseason practices, along with preseason games.
Seferian-Jenkins' suspension stems from his DUI arrest in September, which was his second since 2013, and led to his release from the Buccaneers. Police stopped Seferian-Jenkins for a traffic violation, and appeared ready to let him off with a warning.
