Rand Getlin of Yahoo Sports is โhearingโ that Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe will be suspended one game for his marijuana possession arrest last year.
- Getlin adds that Boweโs initial chargers for speeding and marijuana possession have been amended to โdefective equipment and littering.โ
- ESPNโs Adam Schefter has confirmed that Bowe will be suspended for the teamโs opening game against the Titans.
- According to Brian McIntyre, Bowe will lose a game check of $514,706 if they based the suspension on his 2014 salary or $44,118 from his 2013 salary.
Bowe is clearly atop the teamโs depth chart, but he has had an up and down training camp thus far. HC Andy Reid recently mentioned that Boweโs struggles are due to his finger being โshot.โ
โItโs been thrown out of place about 15 times, and heโs not catching the ball,โ Reid said, via Adam Teicher of ESPN. โBut heโs getting his work done.โ
As of now, Donnie Avery and A.J. Jenkins could end up being the teamโs top-two receivers to open the regular season.
Bowe, 29, is entering the second year of his five-year, $56 million contract that includes $26 million guaranteed. Heโll make $8.75 million for the 2014 season.
Last year, Bowe appeared in 15 games and caught 57 passes for 673 yards receiving and five touchdowns.
