Da'Rick Rogers Reportedly Suspended 2 Games: Latest Details, Comments, Reaction

Any NFL team willing to take a risk on free-agent receiver Da'Rick Rogers will have to bear in mind that he reportedly won't be eligible to play until Week 3 this season.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that Rogers has been suspended for the first two games of the 2015 campaign.

The Kansas City Chiefs released Rogers in June, and a suspension would explain why he hasn't gotten another opportunity as of yet. The 24-year-old wideout sports a thick 6'3", 215-pound frame to go with good speed and excellent leaping ability.

As a member of the Indianapolis Colts in 2013, Rogers registered six catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Otherwise he hasn't done much in the pros since going undrafted in 2013 and landing in Buffalo.

Scout.com's Ryan Talbot spoke highly of Rogers in reacting to Thursday's news:

Off-field issues have plagued Rogers in college and in the NFL. An indefinite suspension at the University of Tennessee led Rogers to transfer to Tennessee Tech. His stay with the Colts was cut short when the team released him following a DUI arrest in September 2014.

"I think the way things are set up here, it's a pretty good culture, a pretty good environment," said Colts coach Chuck Pagano at the time, per IndyStar.com's Michael Anthony Adams and Stephen Holder. "It's a pretty easy place to thrive and to grow...If you can't make it here, it's going to be tough to make it anywhere."

It's unclear what Rogers did to warrant his latest reported ban from the gridiron, but it will likely discourage prospective suitors from taking a chance on him.

Indianapolis was a promising situation Rogers bungled. He couldn't stick on a Chiefs team that acquired Jeremy Maclin this offseason but sported a 2014 receiving corps that failed to catch a touchdown pass.

Rogers' NFL future appears dubious at the moment. Even though the reported suspension isn't of the lengthy variety, it would add to the persistent pattern of behavior that has gotten Rogers in trouble too often in his career.
