Jets Waive Guard Oday Aboushi A Day After Suspension Ends
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Jets have waived guard Oday Aboushi a day after his one-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy ended.
The Jets didn't need to make a corresponding move Tuesday because Aboushi didn't count on the 53-man roster during his suspension.
Aboushi was pulled over on Jan. 10 by police, who found a small amount of marijuana in his car during a traffic stop in Morris Plains, New Jersey. He was suspended a game without pay by the NFL last month despite being given a conditional discharge on the marijuana citation.
Aboushi started 10 games at left guard last season after starter Brian Winters was injured. The 24-year-old Brooklyn native was a fifth-round draft pick out of Virginia in 2013 and was expected to back up new starter James Carpenter.
