Cowboys SS Jakar Hamilton Suspended

The Cowboys secondary has suffered their second player suspension in less than a month.

Cowboys strong safety Jakar Hamilton has been suspended for the first four games of the regular season for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Hamilton's suspension comes weeks after cornerback Orlando Scandrick was suspended the first four games for violating the league's performance enhancing drug policy.

Hamilton has played in only one preseason game thus far and is unlikely to play in Thursday's final preseason game against the Broncos due to a leg injury. His spot on the final 53 man roster is not guaranteed.

This is Hamilton's second violation of the league's drug policy. He will remain in the league's Stage Two policy for 24 months or two full seasons wherein he is subject to random drug test up to 10 times per month. Another violation would incur a one year suspension.
