Cowboys RB Ronald Jones suspended two games for violating NFL PED policy

Dallas Cowboys running back Ronald Jones has been suspended without pay for the first two games of the 2023-24 regular season for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs, a spokesperson for the league announced Monday.

Jones will miss the Cowboys’ season opener against the New York Giants and the team’s Week 2 tilt against the New York Jets. Jones is still allowed to participate in all preseason practices and games, according to the league’s statement.

Dallas signed Jones to a one-year contract this offseason in the wake of Ezekiel Elliott’s release.

Jones, a two-time Super Bowl champion, spent the first four seasons of his career with Tampa Bay (2018-21) before joining Kansas City last season. Jones, a former second-round pick out of USC in 2018, played in six games for the Chiefs last season, amassing just 70 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries during that span. 

He grew up in the Dallas area and graduated from McKinney North high school.
