Washington Commanders defensive end Dorance Armstrong received a one-game suspension from the NFL for violating the league's personal conduct policy. This suspension is set to commence on August 30 and will conclude on September 14, when Armstrong becomes eligible for reinstatement. The timing of this suspension complicates Armstrong's recovery from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 7 of the previous season. Armstrong, 29, joined the Commanders in 2024 after six seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. In his first season with Washington, he recorded five sacks and 33 tackles across 14 games before his season was cut short by injury. The NFL also issued suspensions to other players, including Nazeeh Johnson of the Tennessee Titans and Phidarian Mathis of the Buffalo Bills, for separate policy violations.
