Baltimore Ravens guard Ben Cleveland was suspended on Monday for the team's next three games after violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

Further details on Cleveland's suspension weren't revealed. The 27-year-old was arrested during the offseason for a DUI and was given probation after a plea deal. 

Although Cleveland has been a backup or healthy scratch all season, he will miss the upcoming games against the Cincinnati Bengals on December 14th, New England Patriots on December 21st, and Green Bay Packers on December 28th.

Cleveland hasn't seen much field time at all since the Ravens drafted him in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. 

After his rookie deal ended following the 2024 season, the Ravens signed Cleveland back on a one-year, $1.17 million deal. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
