The NFL hasn’t officially announced Packers defensive lineman Letroy Guion’s three-game suspension yet because the appeal has not been heard, but that should change in a couple of weeks.

Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports that Guion will plead his case for a reduced sentence on August 24. Guion was arrested in February on drug and firearms possession charges that he settled by paying a $5,000 fine that carries no adjudication of guilt.

Police also seized Guion’s truck and more than $190,000 in cash after he was pulled over for erratic driving in Florida six months ago. An unloaded gun, which is registered in Minnesota, and 357 grams of marijuana were found during a search by the police. Guion has filed a motion to have the truck and money returned to him.

Packers defensive end Datone Jones is also suspended for the season opener, which would leave the Packers shorthanded up front against the Bears if Guion’s ban isn’t totally overturned.
