Washington Redskins linebacker Junior Galette has been suspended two games by the NFL for violating the league's personal conduct policy

The suspension stems from a January incident in which Galette, who was with the New Orleans Saints at the time, was accused of pushing a woman to the ground during an altercation at his home. He was arrested on domestic violence and simple battery charges, both of which were later dismissed.

The woman filed a civil lawsuit against Galette, which was also dismissed.

Galette tore his Achilles tendon in August and will miss the entire 2015 season as a result. He will begin serving the suspension immediately.
