Former Indianapolis Colts safety LaRon Landry was released by the team after the 2014 season, and it will be even more difficult for him to find work due to a 10-game suspension.

Landry has been suspended by the NFL for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy, which is not his first time as he previously served a four-game suspension last season.
The hard-hitting safety has not lived up to expectations that came with him being drafted sixth overall by the Washington Redskins in 2007.
He managed to make the Pro Bowl in 2012, his only season with the New York Jets, when he registered 99 tackles with two interceptions.
However, the 30-year-old veteran has been a liability in coverage and against the run lately, and his reputation will make it even harder to convince a team to take a chance on him.
Ian Rapoport announced Landry’s major punishment for a repeated offense on Twitter.
