Minor moves heading into the weekend:
Kansas City Chiefs
- Placed on reserve/suspended list: WR Justyn Ross
Tennessee Titans
- Placed on IR: LB Joe Jones, P Ryan Stonehouse
Ross was placed on the Commissioner Exempt List back in October after getting arrested on misdemeanor domestic battery and misdemeanor property damage charges. Adam Schefter of ESPN now reports that the ordeal will result in a six-game suspension by the NFL for violating the league’s Personal Conduct Policy. Since Ross has missed the past five games on the exempt list, those five games will count towards his six-game suspension, meaning that he may rejoin the team after their contest with the Bills this weekend. Unlike his time on the exempt list, though, the six-game suspension is meant to be unpaid, meaning that Ross will be required to pay back the game checks that he received over that five-game period.
We were told recently that Stonehouse would be out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery. Today’s transaction sets that in stone as he’ll find his way to injured reserve alongside the former practice squad linebacker.
So Ross was arrested and got 6 games…
Von Miller is gets arrested and is playing this weekend?
At least the games served are honored. That’s close enough to a consistent standard as one can expect from the league.
Von Miller has more superstar power.
Punny.
So PFR says nothing about putting a player on the Reserve/Suspended list?
Here let me help:
The 23-year-old was suspended after he was arrested on two misdemeanors of domestic battery and criminal damage in October – after his girlfriend alleged that Ross pushed her to the floor and threw things at her. The police report lists damages to a laptop, cellphone, jewelry and car key, as well as a scratched Mercedes-Benz.. The criminal damage charge was upgraded to a felony last month, and he pleaded not guilty.
