The Green Bay Packers will be deprived of one of their promising young porters to start the season.
Aaron Jones, 23, was suspended for the first two games of the regular season for breaking the NFL's drug policy, the league announced on Tuesday.
His suspension covers games against the Chicago Bears in Week 1 and Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. Jones will remain eligible to practice and participate in games during the pre-season.
Jones was arrested last October and finally charged with driving a vehicle with a controlled substance into his system, driving a vehicle without a valid license and without speeding. He ended up not challenging the tax on controlled substances.
A fifth-round pick in 2017, Jones impressed in the limited action last year, racking up more than 100 rushing yards in the Packers' win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5 and the loss to New Orleans Saints in week 7.
Jones shared his time with Jamaican rookie Jamaal Williams and converted catcher Ty Montgomery, finishing with 448 rushing yards and four touchdowns in 81 races.
