New York Jets cornerback Dimitri Patterson, who didn't show for a game and went AWOL last weekend for 48 hours, was suspended for the remainder of the preseason and received additional discipline from the team, the Jets announced Tuesday night.
The team didn't disclose the exact nature of the discipline, but it's likely a fine. Patterson is eligible to return Monday, when the Jets start preparations for the season opener against the Oakland Raiders.
The announcement came one day after the Jets suspended him indefinitely for what they termed an "unexcused" absence, which irked the organization and some teammates. On Monday, general manager John Idzik indicated it wouldn't take long to make a decision on Patterson's fate.
