Jets cornerback Rashard Robinson has been suspended four games for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy in the wake of a December arrest for the alleged possession of edible marijuana, the league announced Wednesday.
Robinson was pulled over in Hanover Township, New Jersey, last December and was allegedly found to be in possession of marijuana-laced candy, according to police reports. At the time, the Jets were not informed of the arrest.
Robinson will sit out the first four games without pay and is eligible to return on Monday, Oct. 1. He may participate in all preseason games and practices, the league said.
