It was a foregone conclusion that Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton was going to receive a suspension from the league. The question was how long was the suspension going to be.
Sutton received his answer on July 8.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that the NFL has suspended Sutton for the first eight games of the 2024 regular season. Sutton received his suspension for “violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.”
“Cameron Sutton of the Pittsburgh Steelers is suspended without pay for the first eight games of the 2024 regular season for violating the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy, it was announced today,” Pelissero wrote. “The NFL investigated the March incident involving Sutton and determined he violated the Personal Conduct Policy.
“Sutton will be eligible for reinstatement on October 29 following the Steelers’ Week 8 game against the New York Giants.”
After playing his first six NFL seasons with the Steelers, Sutton signed a 3-year, $33 million contract with the Detroit Lions last year. But the team released him after one season.
The Lions released Sutton on March 21 after the Hillsborough County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office issued a warrant for Sutton’s arrest on suspicion of domestic violence.
Sutton’s suspension means the Steelers will have to navigate the first half of the 2024 campaign without the 29-year-old cornerback.
