Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus suspended for one game for drug violation
Buffalo Bills Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcell Dareus has been suspended for one game without pay for violating the NFL substance-abuse policy.
The suspension stems from his arrest in Alabama last year for possession of synthetic marijuana.
“Last year, I made a mistake involving possession of a banned substance.
Dareus said in a statement. " The NFL’s discipline for this conduct is part of the drug policy, and I apologize to my family, my teammates, the entire Bills organization and Bills fans that I will miss one game as a result of my mistake. I will work intensely that week and will be extremely happy to contribute to a win in week two for the Bills.”
