Robert Duetsch/USA Today Sports

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.



Blount will be able to participate in all offseason activities leading up to week 1.
