New England Patriots running back Kevin Faulk was suspended one game following a charge for possession of marijuana earlier this year, the NFL announced on Saturday. Faulk, 32, was suspended for New England's season-opening game against Kansas City on September 7 and fined an addition game check after he was found with hand-rolled cigars containing the drug at a rap concert in Lafayette, Louisiana, on February 22.

REPORT: Chad Jackson Cut
Mike Reiss is reporting that the Patriots informed wide receiver Chad Jackson this morning that they are cutting him from the roster.
