Tight end Lance Kendricks is starting his 2019 season unable to hit the field.

On Saturday NFL Network announced that the 31-year-old had been suspended for the first game of the 2019 season for violation of the league's policy and program on substances of abuse. Kendricks received probation in July for a 2017 marijuana possession charge in which he pleaded no contest.

Kendricks isn't the first Patriots tight end to be suspended. Earlier this offseason Benjamin Watson was suspended for the first four games of the 2019 season for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs.

Kendricks is on the bubble of making the team's 53-man roster.
