Cameron Sutton, a Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback, has been suspended for eight games without pay for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, the league announced Monday.
He will be eligible to return on Tuesday, October 29, following the Steelers’ Week 8 game against the New York Giants.
Sutton entered a pretrial diversion program in April to address a domestic abuse complaint, according to court documents. He was charged with misdemeanor violence after turning himself in to the Hillsborough County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office on March 31, after being sought by police for weeks.
The NFL stated that an examination into the event revealed that Sutton violated the personal conduct guideline. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday that Sutton will not appeal the punishment.
He was with the Lions at the time.
