It’s unclear whether tight end Orson Charles will make the opening-day roster with the Saints. If he does, he won’t be playing in Week One.
Via the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the NFL has suspended Charles one game for violating the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy.
The suspension arises from a March 2014 incident, in which Charles pointed a gun (three times, allegedly) at another driver who had made an obscene gesture. Charles was under contract with the Bengals at the time; they cut him in August, and Charles then joined the New Orleans practice squad.
