Enunwa banned 4 games
The NFL suspended Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa for four games without pay on Monday for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
The suspension stems from an arrest on Aug. 31, 2014 on a domestic violence charge that was later dismissed. Enunwa, a 2014 sixthround pick, was accused of causing injury to his girlfriend by “grabbing the victim by her ankle and pulling her off a bed and causing her to strike and injure both her head and finger,” according to the criminal complaint.
The woman later decided not to pursue the charges.
But the NFL must have felt there was enough there to suspend him. His suspension begins immediately. He is eligible to return to the team on Nov. 13, the day after the Jets play the Bills.
“We support and respect the NFL’s decision to suspend Quincy Enunwa,” the Jets said in a statement. “The New York Jets share the NFL’s ongoing commitment to raising awareness of the frequency and impact of domestic and relationship violence, supporting survivors, and encouraging others to speak out and seek help.”
Enunwa had played 50 percent of the team’s offensive snaps this year. He has eight catches for 94 yards.
A source said the suspension originally was six games, but was reduced to four after Enunwa showed remorse and cooperated with the investigation.
