Patriots running back Legarrette Blount will be suspended for the 2015 season opener due to violating the leagues substance abuse policy.
The violation came when Blount, then a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and fellow Steelers running back LeVeon Bell were arrested on August 20th and charged with possession of marijuana.
