New York Jets defensive back Brandin Echols has been suspended one game in the 2023 season for a violation of the personal conduct policy, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Per that report, Nichols was "accepted into a diversionary program earlier this year, related to his role in a high-speed crash in 2022."
It is unclear, however, if his suspension was related to that incident.
Nichols was charged with fourth-degree assault by auto and was issued motor vehicle summonses for reckless driving, speeding, unsafe lane change, improper passing and failure to wear a seatbelt after the accident, which partially paralyzed Stephen Gilberg and also left him with broken ribs, according to Lori Comstock of the New Jersey Herald.
