Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman Chris Terry was suspended Monday for the team's first four games for violating the NFL substance abuse and personal conduct policies.
An NFL statement said Terry also was fined an additional five game checks. He is eligible to return to the Seahawks' active roster on Oct. 6.
In February, Terry agreed to undergo counseling and perform community service as part of a deal to defer prosecution of a charge he shoved his wife into a wall during an argument last summer.
The Carolina Panthers released Terry in November after he failed to show up for a court appearance on the charge. He was signed off waivers by Seattle.
