New York Jets linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis has been suspended one game for a violation of the league's policy on substances of abuse.
Pierre-Louis was arrested in January as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, charged with several misdemeanors, including marijuana possession.
In March, shortly after signing with the Jets, Pierre-Louis reached a plea deal in Johnson County, Kansas. The marijuana charge will be dropped if he successfully completes a one-year probationary period.
Pierre-Louis signed a two-year, $5.25 million contact with the Jets, including a $2.5 million guarantee. The Jets envision him as a backup and special-teams contributor.
