Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon suspended for rest of 2013 season

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon has been suspended for the rest of the 2013 season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, the league announced on Friday. Blackmon will be eligible to apply for reinstatement prior to the 2014 season.

The substance-abuse violation is Blackmon's second in just over six months. Blackmon missed the first four games of the 2013 season after violating the league's substance-abuse policy in April.

A second violation means an eight-game suspension and that's how many games the Jaguars have left this season, so Blackmon will sit out the rest of the 2013 season.

"All of us who are a part of the Jaguars family care very deeply about Justin and his well-being. That said, he must be held accountable and accept the consequences announced today by the NFL," Jaguars general managers David Caldwell said in a statement. "His suspension will provide him the opportunity to receive the attention and professional treatment necessary to overcome his challenges, and we will support him during this time. The Jacksonville Jaguars will evaluate Justin's status once he has successfully met the criteria to be considered for reinstatement to the league."

Warren Moon: Justin Blackmon is Dez Bryant 'with all of his brain cells'

Oklahoma State star wide receiver Justin Blackmon is skipping his senior year and entering the 2012 NFL Draft. Blackmon's decision wasn't much of surprise considering he caught 38 touchdown passes over the last two seasons while totaling 3,304 receiving yards. However, what is surprising is how hall of fame quarterback Warren Moon compared Blackmon to former OSU receiver Dez Bryant during a recent radio interview.

"He’s a beast, isn’t he? He’s like Dez Bryant with all of his brain cells," Moon told KIRO-AM 710 in Seattle. "He’s a guy that has all those skills that Dez Bryant has but he’s not the knucklehead that Dez Bryant has turned out to be with Dallas. And a much better route runner than Dez Bryant is, but a very tremendous talent."

Bryant has obviously had more than his share of off the field problems, which included a criminal trespass warning at a Dallas mall and multiple lawsuits stemming from unpaid loans. But Moon's comments were quite stunning considering he wasn't even provoked by the radio hosts.

Bryant improved statistically during his second NFL season, catching 63 passes for 928 yards and nine touchdowns, but that doesn't seem to have improved his reputation with a certain nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback.

Good one, Warren. But Moon had a drinking problem and beat up women, so....

It looks even dumber now because Dez has stayed clean since he slapped his mama.
