The Jacksonville Jaguars were bracing themselves for word that a suspension of wide receiver Matt Jones could be coming. Now the word has come: ESPN’s Chris Mortensen is reporting that Jones has been suspended three games for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. If Jones is not able to get the suspension reduced on appeal, he’ll miss games at home against the Browns, at the Bengals and at the Lions. Those are all games the Jaguars will be favored to win, even without Jones, who has started all six games this season and caught 30 passes for 338 yards. The suspension stems from Jones’ arrest over the summer. Jones entered a drug intervention program to avoid prosecution on felony cocaine possession charges.
