Packers could be thin up front in the opener with suspensions

Packers defensive end Datone Jones only got a one game suspension for his violation of the league’s substance abuse policy, but the Packers are likely going to be short more than one lineman for that game.

As noted by Wes Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, the Packers are still awaiting word on an expected punishment for defensive lineman Letroy Guion, which could leave them down two key players for the opener.

Like Jones, Guión could be facing a shorter suspension, assuming he hasn’t failed any tests. He was arrested in February for possession of marijuana and a firearm, charges which were thrown out after he paid a fine.
