Report: Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe Suspended One Game

 

Rand Getlin of Yahoo Sports is โ€œhearingโ€ that Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe will be suspended one game for his marijuana possession arrest last year.

  • Getlin adds that Boweโ€™s initial chargers for speeding and marijuana possession have been amended to  โ€œdefective equipment and littering.โ€
  • ESPNโ€™s Adam Schefter has confirmed that Bowe will be suspended for the teamโ€™s 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 teamโ€™s depth chart, but he has had an up and down training camp thus far. HC Andy Reid recently mentioned that Boweโ€™s struggles are due to his finger being โ€œshot.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s been thrown out of place about 15 times, and heโ€™s not catching the ball,โ€ Reid said, via Adam Teicher of ESPN. โ€œBut heโ€™s getting his work done.โ€

As of now, Donnie Avery and A.J. Jenkins could end up being the teamโ€™s 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. Heโ€™ll 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.
