NFL bans Cameron Sutton for eight games

The NFL announced Monday that Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton has been suspended without pay for the first eight games of the 2024 season.

The league stated in its statement that Sutton violated the NFL’s rules of conduct in March.

Sutton, 29, was released by the Lions that same month, one day after the club learned that a warrant had been issued for his arrest in Florida on charges of domestic violence by strangulation.

The Steelers, who selected Sutton in the third round of the 2017 draft, re-signed the cornerback in early June.

Sutton spent his first six seasons with Pittsburgh before playing with Detroit last year.

In 101 career games, Sutton has recorded 44 passes defended with nine interceptions.

Sutton will be eligible to return to action on October 29 after the Steelers play the Giants in Week 8.
