#Packers DT Letroy Guion has been informed, @NFL is suspended him 3 games for his Feb. 3 arrest. He’s appealing. (@RobDemovsky had it 1st)

Figured it would be at least that.

DL will be shorthanded in the opener against the Bears with Guion and Jones both suspended for that one.

[Pugger]

I hope he can appeal it down to 1 or 2. How many games will Jones miss, 1?

[Tony Oday]

BJ Raji at least will be back

BJ Raji at least will be back

..and, hopefully, not to his 2013 form, or even 2012 for that matter!

I was wondering if Packers would keep 3 NT-Types. This is great news for Pennel. He probably has it made, at least until Guion is back.

No worries - everyone knows you only need to 2 defensive linemen on the team anyway ;)

Raji was likely to be the starter at NT anyway, this helps the chances for Ringo and Thornton to make the roster...at least for a couple of weeks. Their starting DL will likely be Boyd, Raji, and Daniels, but it's thin after that. What's the likelihood Guion gets the suspension reduced?

[pittstang5]

Another position is gonna be thin to start because they gotta keep at least one, maybe two extra D-lineman for potentially the first three games. Could lose someone we don't want to because there's no room.

The suspended players don't count against the roster, so we won't lose anybody, at least not until the players come off suspension and cuts have to be made.

Oh yeah, crap, I don't know what I was thinking. Working too much I guess.

Cool Beans!

Suspension is upheld. 3 full games. This one is not going to go to Federal Court. Rog is not the arbitrator here.

Incidentally, Guion release says he was punished under the NFL's policy for substance abuse, makes no mention of personal conduct policy.

Nice going Letroy. Seahawk game week 2 isn't big or nothing.

Well done.

Wist telling everybody not to worry. :whaa::-D

If the DL stays healthy, I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to release Guion. Raji is healthy, Pennel and Gaston have played well, and they also have Boyd, Datone Jones and Daniels. I think Ringo will make the team as insurance in case they lose Daniels to free agency. How many D-Linemen does a team that plays nickel most of the time need?

[pbmax]

Guion has been playing well as a 3-4 end. He has also shown he can be disruptive, if not dominant, with a pass rush. I think they risk trying to get one of the other guys onto the PS.

[Harlan Huckleby]

A guy gets busted with close to a pound of pot, a handgun, and $190K in cash. I know he has explanations, but it's quite a scene. I'm reminded of that religious cartoon, where every episode a moral crisis is reached and Goliath asks, "Davey, what would dad say?"

I'd say 3 games is way cool. Lombardi would have traded him to the Jets.

Something happens when you put on that purple jersey.

I think Boyd could be in jeopardy. He can hold a double team and plug holes in the run game but he has no disruptivity. Pennel may be passing him and Gaston is flashing strong. He has 0 career sacks. Guion may replace his role after suspension.

never mind. teamcheez1 beat me to it in the 2017 roster thread.
