DE Shaun Ellis has been suspended without pay for the season opener and fined $100,000 by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy. So, the Gang Green will be missing two starters due to suspensions when the season begins on September 13th. LB Calvin Pace will be serving a 4-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. DE Mike DeVito and LB Vernon Gholston are expected to replace Ellis and Pace in the starting lineup.
LB Calvin Pace has been suspended for the first four games of the 2009 NFL regular season for violating the league's performance-enhancing substance policy. He will be eligible to return for the Monday night game against the Miami Dolphins in Week 5.
New York Jets S Eric Smith was suspended for one game by the NFL on Monday for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Arizona Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin. Additionally, Smith was fined $50,000 for a flagrant violation of player safety rules. In a statement, the league said Boldin was in a defenseless position at the time contact was made.
