Aldon Smith's Periscope Account Includes Smoking Video Titled 'Fire Up Session'

Oakland Raiders outside linebacker Aldon Smith allegedly released a video on Periscope earlier in July of himself smoking and then saying his own name at the end of the clip, which was entitled "Fire up session."

The video can be seen below (warning: content NSFW):

Smith has posted several videos on Periscope under an account entitled "ravenga," using the name "Ricky," according to CSN Bay Area. He is currently serving a yearlong suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.

ESPN.com's Ed Werder, citing a source, reported on Monday morning that the NFL is "looking into possibility [Smith] engaged in behavior that violates protocols for suspended player."

Smith later seemed to deny it was him in the video via his Twitter account:

"

Good try, not me

— Aldon Smith (@AldonSmith) July 25, 2016"

After a series of legal issues, Smith's future in the NFL is uncertain. He can apply for reinstatement 60 days before his suspension comes to an end in November. But any violation of the league's policy would likely result in that application for reinstatement being denied, at least initially.

According to the NFL's substance-abuse policy (h/t CSN Bay Area), Smith's application must include information pertaining to his: "(a) Treatment; (b) Abstinence from Substances of Abuse throughout the entire period of his banishment; (c) Involvement with any Substances of Abuse related incidents; and (d) Arrests and/or convictions for any criminal activity, including Substances of Abuse-related offense."

Bleacher Report's Jason Cole reported that the NFL's investigation could delay Smith's potential reinstatement:

Smith, 26, has been one of the NFL's most dominant pass-rushers when he's been able to avoid legal troubles. He's posted 180 tackles and 47.5 sacks in 59 career games, an impressive pace that included 14.0 sacks in his rookie season with the San Francisco 49ers in 2011 and 19.5 the following year.

For Oakland last season, he notched 28 tackles and 3.5 sacks in nine games.

Smith spent one month in a treatment center for substance abuse in 2013 and was suspended for nine games during the 2014 season after he pleaded no contest to possessing an illegal assault weapon; he also pleaded no contest in a 2013 DUI arrest.

In April 2014, he was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport for being uncooperative during a TSA screening and telling an agent he had a bomb, though no charges were ever filed.

His current yearlong suspension came after Smith pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor hit-and-run, drunken driving and vandalism charges in September 2015. It was his fifth arrest since 2012.
