Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler has been suspended by the NFL for the first game of the 2018 season after violating the league's personal conduct policy, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
The suspension stems from Fowler's arrest in July 2017. The 23-year-old was charged with simple battery and criminal mischief after allegedly striking a man during a verbal dispute, breaking his glasses and throwing a bag of the man's liquor into a lake.
He pleaded no contest in March and was "placed on probation, given community service and fined as punishment," per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.
