Jets guard suspended Week 1

Jets guard Oday Aboushi will be suspended the first game of the 2015 regular season for violating the NFL's Substance Abuse Policy, the league announced on Thursday.

A fifth-round selection in 2013, Aboushi will be eligible to return on Sept. 14, one day after the Jets host the Cleveland Browns, though will be allowed to participate in all preseason games and off-field activities with the team until then.

Aboushi was trying to work his way onto the team's starting roster after starting 10 games last season, a feat that just got much harder with his absence in Week 1. 

"I apologize for my actions and understand the repercussions," Aboushi said in a statement. "This is something I've learned from and I'm focused on moving forward."
