Quarterback Johnny Manziel has been suspended four games, the NFL announced Thursday.
The NFL did not specify the reason for the suspension, but a source confirmed to ESPN that it was for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
TMZ Sports first reported news on Manziel's suspension.
Don't expect Johnny Manziel on the field in 2016
The former Browns quarterback has been suspended for the first four games of 2016, making '17 the best-case scenario for an NFL return. But other challenges loom larger than his football career.
Manziel, 23, is a free agent after being released by the Cleveland Browns earlier this year. His four-game suspension becomes effective immediately. If he signs with a team, Manziel would be suspended for the first four games of the 2016 season and conceivably could play in Week 5.
The NFL stated that Manziel was eligible to sign and participate in all preseason activities, including games.
Manziel could face additional discipline under the personal conduct policy for other transgressions, including being charged with assaulting his girlfriend, sources told ESPN.
