Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones was suspended by the NFL for five games due to a violation of the league's personal conduct policy, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that Jones' suspension stemmed from a misdemeanor domestic battery charge in November. The charge was dropped in March, although the NFL conducted its own investigation and returned a five-game suspension.

Jones signed a one-year contract worth up to $4.25 million with the Cardinals on May 10.

Jones was arrested and charged after an argument with the mother of his child allegedly resulted in an injury to her neck, according to an arrest and booking report (per ESPN's Michael DiRocco). In March, the Florida state attorney's office announced that it would not pursue the charges against Jones and the case was dropped.

The 2017 second-round pick spent the past two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars before he was released by the team on April 30. The Jaguars used the No. 23 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft on former LSU receiver Brian Thomas Jr. on April 25.

Jones recorded 34 catches for 321 yards and two touchdowns in nine appearances in 2023. He also racked up a career-high 823 yards with Jacksonville during his 2022 campaign.

2023 third-round pick Michael Wilson and 26-year-old Greg Dortch should serve larger roles in the offense until Jones returns, and perhaps No. 1 receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will get a bigger target share.

Jones will be eligible to make his 2024 debut in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 13.
