DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Jones has been suspended without pay for two games for violating the NFL substance abuse policy.The suspension stemmed from Jones arrest last offseason for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, a person familiar with the situation said Monday. The person confirmed the arrest to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the reason for the suspension was not publicly disclosed.In a statement issued through the team, Jones apologized to his teammates, his coaches and the organization. The Dolphins also released a statement from the organization.Jason notified the team of this situation when it occurred, and has been in regular contact with the NFL, team officials and his coaches throughout the process, the Dolphins said, without providing details about the situation. We were disappointed when we were made aware. Jason recognized and apologized for his lapse in judgment and has fulfilled his legal obligations.The suspension begins immediately, and Jones will be eligible to return to the active roster Dec. 5.Fortunately no one was hurt because of my actions, Jones said. This is something I learned from, and have taken the proper steps to ensure this will never happen again.A nine-year veteran, Jones is part of the Dolphins defensive line rotation. He has started five games this year and has 2+ sacks.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL. Wholesale Jordan Retro 6 .

CHASKA, Minn. -- Sweep, then almost swept.That describes the U.S. teams opening day at the Ryder Cup. The Americans won all four of Friday mornings foursomes matches, then nearly got shut out when they dropped three of four in the afternoon fourballs.The momentum swing left Europe trailing 5-3, but encouraged captain Darren Clarke enough to shoehorn the last two of his six rookies into Saturday mornings foursomes sessions. Asked whether hed rather have a small lead or the momentum, Clarke thought about it for a moment.As Im sitting in my seat right now, in the position we were in at lunchtime (down 4-0), I would definitely say ... momentum, he said. Because we didnt have much at lunchtime.Here are some things to watch heading into Day 2 at Hazeltine:CROWD CONTROL: More than 50,000 fans flocked to Hazeltine on Friday, the vast majority of them wearing stars and stripes and cheering for the Americans. They were also cheering hard against the Europeans, imploring them to hit it in the water! and taunting rookie Danny Willett, whose brother penned an essay earlier in the week that was critical of American golf fans. The day ended with Rory McIlroy returning the favor, bowing after a 20-foot eagle putt on No. 16 finished off Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar. McIlroy was asked if he thought the gesture would incite even more hostility on Saturday. No worries on my part, he said with a grin. I bowed to them and said, `Youre welcome for the show, and we move on.A LITTLE FAITH: Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed got the Americans off to a rollicking start with a 3-and-2 victory over Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose on Friday morning. They had a rematch in fourball in the afternoon and lost 5 and 4 despite posting six birdies in the first 11 holes. Davis Love III kept them together for a third straight match on Saturday morning, when they will face Sergio Garcia and Rafa Cabrera Bello in the final match of the foursomes.WESTWOOD RESTS: Lee Westwood is playing in his 10th Ryder Cup and is 2 1/2 points aaway from breaking Nick Faldos career Ryder Cup record.ddddddddddddBut the Englishman struggled mightily in his morning match with rookie Thomas Pieters, a 5-and-4 loss to Johnson and Kuchar. After the match, Westwood asked Clarke, his close friend and former Ryder Cup partner, to not consider him for play in the afternoon so he could work on his game on the practice range. Westwood is not among the pairings in foursomes on Saturday morning. Lees a standup man and he didnt have any reservations about telling me the truth, as indeed would any member of my team, Clarke said. But his information to me was such that he would prefer to hit some more balls before playing again.DEBUT TIME: Love played all 12 members of his team on Friday. Clarke decided to sit rookies Matt Fitzpatrick and Chris Wood the entire day. Both newcomers will make their Ryder Cup debuts on Saturday morning in foursomes. Fitzpatrick is paired with Stenson in the second match against Brandt Snedeker and Brooks Koepka. Wood will play with Rose in the third match against Jimmy Walker and Zach Johnson. They are almost like waiting for Christmas, Clarke said. They want to go and play. They didnt get the opportunity (on Friday) and I didnt want to hold them back anymore.FAN ENGAGEMENT: Snedeker had a scary moment on Friday when his tee shot on No. 9 hit a female fan in the head. The ball hit the woman in the glasses, and she was down for several minutes before Snedeker signed the ball for her. She said, `Im fine. Just go win this thing, Snedeker said. So when I heard her say that, Im like, `Im good to go. Snedeker also sent a warning to fans who will be watching him on Saturday. Unfortunately, when you drive it as crooked as I do sometimes, you get to know a lot of the fans that way, he said with a sheepish smile. Hopefully she understands.---AP Sports Writer Jim Litke contributed to this story. ' ' '
