Steelers' Sutton Suspended 8 Games for Conduct Violation

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton has been suspended for the first eight games of the 2024 NFL season due to violating the league’s personal conduct policy following a domestic violence incident in March. Sutton was initially charged with domestic battery by strangulation but later entered a pretrial diversion program after his charges were reduced to misdemeanor battery. The Detroit Lions released him following the arrest, and he subsequently signed a one-year deal with the Steelers. The suspension will cost Sutton nearly half of his $1.21 million contract for the season. Sutton is not appealing the suspension and will be eligible for reinstatement on October 29. The Steelers had anticipated his absence and are prepared to adjust their defensive lineup accordingly.
