Report: Dolphins DE Dion Jordan suspended for 2015 season
Miami Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan was suspended for the 2015 season for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy, reports ESPN.com's Adam Schefter.
Jordan, the third pick in the 2013 NFL draft, did not fail a drug test, but rather submitted a test sample that was diluted, reports Schefter. Diluted samples count as a strike against a player in the league's substance abuse policy.
Jordan is not expected to appeal the suspension, per multiplereports. The Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles were "nearing a trade" for Jordan before his suspension, reports Schefter.
Jordan was suspended four games last season for a violation of the league's performance enhancing substances policy.
