The NFL has shown its personal conduct policy has teeth, suspending a convicted assaulter six games.

Of course, the assaulter is a former Rams and Patriots practice-squader who hasn’t been employed in the league since the Rams cut him in June.

According to Tom Pelissero of USA Today, the league suspended free agent wide receiver J.J. Worton for six games effective Oct. 10, which would make him eligible to return on Nov. 22.

Of course, to do so, someone would have to be interested in the former Central Florida wideout.

Worton received probation after being convicted of three assault and battery charges. He was accused of touching two women indecently at a bar and then punching a man who confronted him about it.

The Patriots cut him shortly after the arrest, though the Rams brought him back to camp this offseason.
