Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones was suspended for five games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, the league announced Friday.
Jones was arrested in November for domestic battery, and charges were dropped in March after authorities reviewed evidence.
Jones signed with Arizona in May on a one-year deal worth up to $4.25 million, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
He entered training camp in the mix for the WR2 role alongside second-year pro Michael Wilson.

In his first season with the Jaguars, he set career bests with 82 catches and 823 yards to go along with five touchdowns.
