The Facts: According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Bowe is being suspended one week for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
Diehards Line:
He was arrested for possession of marijuana last fall, and had previously been suspended four games for violating the PED policy in 2009. He’ll miss the opener against the Titans, but can continue to practice and play in the preseason. As Profootballtalk.com notes, if nothing else, that will give him time to rest his finger, which according to Andy Reid is “shot.” But it also puts the Chiefs offense in a difficult spot in the opener.
