Tanard Jackson has once again been suspended by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy. The current suspension is indefinite and effective immediately.
This is Jackson's fourth suspension since being drafted in the fourth round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers out of Syracuse in 2007. In 2009 Jackson would be suspended the first four games of the season. In September 2010 he was suspended indefinitely and wouldn't be reinstated until October 2011.
In April 2012 Jackson failed a physical and the Bucs released him. The Redskins signed him three days later. He was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list at the start of training camp due to a calf injury. He cleared the PUP list in July of that year, but was suspended indefinitely on August 31 for violating the league's substance abuse policy again.
After missing two seasons, Jackson was reinstated on May 6, 2014 before being suspended again on Wednesday for violating the substance abuse policy again. Since he was expected to start behind Ryan Clark to begin with, chances are great that his career with the Redskins and possibly the NFL are over.
