No Suspension For Jets’ Robby Anderson

After a pair of arrests, Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson appeared on track for a suspension from the NFL. However, the league has confirmed that Anderson will not be suspended for any of his legal run-ins, according to Manish Mehta of the Daily News (on Twitter). 

Anderson’s first incident took place in May of last year when he resisted arrest with violence after allegedly getting into a fight at a Florida music festival. Then, in January of this year, Anderson was pulled over for driving 105 mph in a 45 mph zone. The 25-year-old was initially hit with nine charges from that arrest and police say that he threatened to sexually assault the wife of the arresting officer.

Over the summer, Florida prosecutors dropped the felony charges associated with the music festival brawl. Later on, Anderson received six months of non-reporting probation to settle the reckless driving incident.

This is tremendous news for the 1-3 Jets, who can use all the help they can get. As opposing defenses focus on Quincy Enunwa, they’ll need Anderson to exploit weaker coverage. Through one month of football, Enunwa leads the Jets in receiving with 21 grabs for 278 yards and one touchdown. Anderson, meanwhile, has just eight catches for 108 yards and a score.

The Jets – with Anderson in the lineup – will face the Broncos in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday.
