The official website of the Cincinnati Bengals reports the Bengals have been notified by the NFL that CB Johnathan Joseph has been suspended without pay for one game -- this Sunday at Kansas City -- for violating the NFL Substance Abuse Policy. Joseph will also be fined an additional game check, for the week following the Kansas City game. Josephâs penalty relates to his arrest in Kentucky last January for possession of marijuana. After accepting a diversionary arrangement, he has since complied fully with all league and law-enforcement obligations in regard to resolving the matter, and his case has now been dismissed by Kentucky authorities.
