Dallas Cowboys running back Ronald Jones has been suspended by the NFL after violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy.

Jones, who attended McKinney North High School, will be suspended for the first two games of the season for the violation.

Jones signed with the Cowboys this offseason after winning a Super Bowl last season with the Kansas City Chiefs as a backup.

A release from the NFL did not go into detail about the substance for which Jones tested positive.
