Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon has been suspended for the rest of the 2013 season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, the league announced on Friday. Blackmon will be eligible to apply for reinstatement before the 2014 season.
"All of us who are a part of the Jaguars family care very deeply about Justin and his well-being. That said, he must be held accountable and accept the consequences announced today by the NFL," Jaguars general managers David Caldwell said in a statement. "His suspension will provide him the opportunity to receive the attention and professional treatment necessary to overcome his challenges, and we will support him during this time. The Jacksonville Jaguars will evaluate Justin's status once he has successfully met the criteria to be considered for reinstatement to the league."
