Cowboys RB Ronald Jones suspended 2 games

The NFL suspended Dallas Cowboys running back Ronald Jones without pay for the first two games of the season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Jones, 25, will miss the Cowboys' games against the New York Giants and New York Jets. He'll be allowed to return to the Cowboys' active roster on Sept. 18 ahead of their Week 3 game at Arizona.

The Cowboys signed Jones to a one-year contract in March. He played last season with the Kansas City Chiefs. Jones finished with 17 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown in six games (zero starts).

Jones is third on the Cowboys' depth chart at RB behind Tony Pollard and Malik Davis.

Selected by Tampa Bay in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Jones has 505 carries for 2,244 yards and 19 touchdowns in 61 career games (25 starts) with the Buccaneers and Chiefs. He also has 77 catches for 593 yards and a score.
