Vikings' Jabari Price suspended 2 games for violation of substance abuse policy

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Jabari Price has been suspended for the first two games of the 2015 season for a violation of the league's substance abuse policy.

Price, a seventh-round pick in 2014, will still be eligible to participate in all offseason and preseason practices and games.

He apologized for his actions in a statement released through the NFLPA:

I sincerely apologize to my family, my teammates, the Vikings organization and Vikings fans for the mistake I made last winter. I can assure you that it will never happen again. I look forward to returning to helping my team on the field in week 3.

Price pleaded guilty to careless driving last winter after a DWI arrest.
