Zay Jones Receives Five-Game NFL Suspension

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones has been suspended for the first five games of the 2024 NFL season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. The suspension stems from a November 2023 arrest on domestic battery charges, which were dropped in March 2024. Despite the dropped charges, the NFL conducted its own investigation and decided on the suspension. Jones, who signed with the Cardinals this offseason, had a troubled 2023 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars due to injuries. The suspension is a setback for the Cardinals, who recently drafted Marvin Harrison Jr. to bolster their offense. In related news, free agent cornerback J.C. Jackson has been suspended for the first game of the 2024 NFL season for similar violations of the personal conduct policy.
