DAVIE, Fla. — Miami Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan was relieved of one suspension and then hit with another on Friday.

After a four-game suspension was lifted for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing drugs, Jordan was slapped with a four-game banishment for substance abuse.

That means Jordan, the No. 3 pick of the 2013 draft, will sit out a total of six games this season because of suspensions.

He’ll be eligible to rejoin the team on Oct. 20. Previously, he would have been able to return Sept. 29.

“I am currently undergoing treatment to address my situation,” Jordan said in a statement. “I am working hard to become a better man and to make better choices in the future. I am especially looking forward to returning to the team. I also want to thank my family, coach (Joe) Philbin and the Miami Dolphins organization for their support.”

Jordan had 26 tackles and two sacks last season during a disappointing rookie year. He added 15 pounds of muscle during the offseason and seemed on track to be an impact player until he was suspended for the first four games of the regular season. Now comes the new suspension.

Philbin said the team is “disappointed” in Jordan’s new suspension.

“We were informed that Dion’s suspension for performance-enhancing drugs was lifted,” Philbin said in a statement, “however, we also learned that he has been suspended four games for violating the Policy on Performance-Enhancing Substances.

“While we were disappointed to learn of this result, we support Dion for proactively taking steps to voluntarily seek treatment to better himself. We will continue to support and work with him as he takes advantage of all available resources during this time.”
