Cornerback Cam Sutton has been suspended without pay by the NFL for the first eight games: Domestic battery
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cam Sutton has been suspended without pay by the NFL for the first eight games of the upcoming season.
It was determined after a league investigation that Sutton had violated the league’s Personal Conduct Policy.
He will be eligible to be reinstated on October 29 after the Steeler’s Week 8 contest against the New York Giants.
Sutton was charged with misdemeanor battery stemming from an incident that occurred earlier this year.
Police issued an arrest warrant for Sutton on March 7 and led to the cornerback avoiding police until finally turning himself in on March 31.
After being booked into jail, he was released and eventually entered a pretrial diversion program on April 8.
At the time that Sutton turned himself in, the cornerback and the mother of his child ‘request[ed] privacy’.
