Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton has been suspended without pay for the first eight games of the 2024 season.
This suspension is for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, the league announced Monday.Sutton won’t appeal the suspension, according to Adam Schefter. He will be eligible for reinstatement on October 29 during Pittsburgh’s Week 9 bye. This means he is likely to return against the Washington Commanders in Week 10.
The NFL began investigating Sutton in early March after authorities issued a warrant for his arrest for domestic battery by strangulation. After this incident, Sutton was released by the Detroit Lions on March 21. He then turned himself in on March 31st and was later charged with misdemeanor battery.
The Steelers, who originally drafted Sutton in the third round in 2017, signed the veteran defensive back to a one-year contract on June 5. Sutton played six seasons with Pittsburgh before joining Detroit for the 2023 campaign.
Sutton has made 101 NFL appearances, 56 of these being a starter. He was expected to compete for a starting role as a member of the Steelers’ secondary this season. He should look to be a key depth piece when he returns, especially if injuries occur.
