Adam Jones Receives One-Game Suspension From NFL

Jul 21, 2017 2:15 PM

Adam Jones has been suspended one game by the NFL for a violation of the league's personal conduct policy.

Jones' suspension stems from his January arrest at a hotel in downtown Cincinnati. He allegedly pushed a security guard, poked him in the eye and refused to comply with law enforcement officers.

Jones pleaded guilty in May to the obstruction charge. He was sentenced to two days in jail, which had already been served.

Ezekiel Elliott Involved In Incident At Dallas Bar

Jul 17, 2017 12:08 PM

Ezekiel Elliott was involved in an incident at a Dallas bar Sunday.

According to the Dallas Police Department, officers were dispatched to the bar around 9:40 p.m. A 30-year-old man said he was physically assaulted but could not identify who assaulted him. The man was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

An NFL official said the league is aware of the situation involving Elliott and "looking into it to understand the facts."

Elliott is already under NFL investigation stemming from a 2016 domestic violence accusation against him.

Multiple sources told Schefter that Elliott could face a one- or two-game suspension, but the NFL has denied that any decision on discipline has been made and said it could not be made until its investigation is complete.

In August, before his first preseason game against the Seahawks, Elliott was spotted at a marijuana dispensary in Seattle. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones was not pleased.

"In general, while it may not be wrong, it's just not good," Jones said of Elliott's visit. "I don't want to say anymore."
