Faulk

The NFL has suspended Patriots running back Kevin Faulk for the team’s opening game against the Kansas City Chiefs for his arrest for marijuana possession at a July Lil’ Wayne concert in violation of the league’s substance abuse policy.

Faulk has also been fined two game checks. Faulk’s suspension began on Saturday and will conclude the day after New England’s opener against Kansas City.

Faulk will not be required to enter the NFL’s substance abuse program despite his possession arrest because he passed a drug test administered three days after his arrest.
