The NFL has been handing down suspensions the last few Fridays and this one is no exception.

Albert Breer of NFL Media reports that Redskins cornerback Bashaud Breeland has been suspended one game by the league. Per Breer, the suspension is related to Breeland’s citation last summer for marijuana possession.

Breeland, who was a fourth-round pick last year, started 15 games during his rookie season and had 67 tackles, two interceptions and two forced fumbles. He was set to compete for another starting gig across from Chris Culliver this season and was in line to be part of the team’s main cornerback trio with Culliver and DeAngelo Hall whether he was considered part of the starting lineup or not.

There’s not much reason to think that will change because Breeland will miss the first week of the season. He’ll be able to practice and play in the preseason, so the suspension shouldn’t really interfere with his preparations for the fall.
