Atlanta Falcons linebacker James Pearce Jr. has been suspended for the team's first eight regular season games, the NFL announced Friday.
He was suspended without pay for violating the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy.
Pearce was arrested in Florida in February following a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend and WNBA player Rickea Jackson.
He later agreed to enter a pre-trial intervention program to avoid a trial on three felony charges.
In July, police have released the body camera video of Atlanta Falcons linebacker James Pearce Jr.'s arrest.
