BALTIMORE — Ravens backup offensive lineman Ben Cleveland has been suspended for three games for violating the NFL's policy on substances of abuse.

The league announced the suspension Monday.

The 27-year-old Cleveland has appeared in 10 games this season with no starts.

Cleveland was arrested in Georgia earlier this year on suspicion of drunken driving. The Ravens later re-signed him. This is his fifth season with the team.

Baltimore took him in the third round of the 2021 draft out of Georgia.
