Former Packers cornerback Jarrett Bush, suspended for four games to start the 2015 season, has reportedly been suspended an additional 10 games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

ESPN's Field Yates first reported the suspension. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported the substance violation. Bush was suspended the first four games of the season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Bush, 31, spent the past nine seasons with the Packers, where he served on special teams and as a reserve cornerback. He contributed to Green Bay's Super Bowl against the Steelers in 2011, filling in for the injured Charles Woodson and making a key interception. Bush has 179 combined tackles for his career and four interceptions. 

Bush became a free agent in March when his contract expired. He now faces suspension for nearly the entire 17-week season.
