BOSTON (WBZ) ― New England Patriots have suspended running back Kevin Faulk one regular season game without pay for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Faulk pleaded no contest in July to misdemeanor marijuana charges.
In addition to sitting out the first regular season game, Faulk has been fined one additional game check.
He will be eligible to return to the Patriots' active roster on Sept. 8 following the team's Sept. 7 opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. His suspension begins Saturday.
Faulk was issued a misdemeanor summons for simple possession of marijuana at a Lil Wayne concert at the Cajundome in February. A Lafayette Parish sheriff's deputy allegedly found four marijuana cigarettes in Faulk's jacket during a routine search.
