Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Jones has been suspended two games for violating the league's substance abuse policy. The suspension will begin immediately.

The suspension stems from an OWI that happened in the offseason. The Dolphins will get an open roster spot during Jones' suspension, which they will fill, according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald.

Jones released a statement through the team apologizing for his actions.

I want to reiterate my apology to my teammates, coaches, and the Miami Dolphins organization. Fortunately no one was hurt by my actions. This is something I learned from and have taken the proper steps to ensure this will never happen again.

Through ten games this season, Jones has 23 tackles and two and a half sacks.
