Ravens offensive lineman Ben Cleveland has been suspended for three games without pay for violating the NFL's Substances of Abuse policy, the team announced on Monday.
Cleveland was arrested in February on suspicion of driving under the influence, and according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec, Cleveland recently plea-bargained and was put on probation.
Cleveland hasn't played since the Ravens' Nov. 16 win over the Browns; he's been a healthy scratch over the past few weeks. With the suspension, Cleveland will miss the Ravens' upcoming matchups against the Bengals, Patriots and Packers, and would be eligible for the final regular-season game against the Steelers.
Cleveland was drafted by the Ravens in the third round in 2021, and has played in 64 games over the past five seasons.
After Sunday's loss to the Steelers, Baltimore trails Pittsburgh in the AFC North.
