New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa has been suspended without pay for the team’s next four games for violating the NFL’s personal-conduct policy.

The NFL announced Monday that Enunwa’s suspension begins immediately. He will be eligible to return to the Jets’ active roster on Friday, Nov. 13 following the team’s Thursday night game against the Buffalo Bills.

The suspension stems from a Aug. 31, 2014, arrest for simple assault that was dismissed in a Florham Park, N.J., municipal court after the prosecution said Enunwa’s girlfriend chose not to pursue the case. A police report said Enunwa grabbed his girlfriend by the ankles and pulled her off a bed, causing her to injure her head and finger.

“We support and respect the NFL’s decision to suspend Quincy Enunwa,” the Jets said in a statement. “The New York Jets share the NFL’s ongoing commitment to raising awareness of the frequency and impact of domestic and relationship violence, supporting survivors, and encouraging others to speak out and seek help.”

Enunwa, who was a sixth-round pick by the Jets in the 2014 NFL Draft, has eight receptions for 94 receiving yards this season.

Enunwa, 23, spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad for the Jets, but had climbed to No. 3 on the receiver depth chart this year.
