Former UConn linebacker Lawrence Wilson has been suspended for one game and fined for an additional game check according to a report on the NFL.com site.

Wilson was taken by Carolina in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL draft. He played in all four preseason games in 2011 making a tackle in the preseason final against Pittsburgh. Wilson did not play in any regular season games. He was released in November after an arrest for speeding and misdeanor marijuana possession.

Wilson would be able to take part in training camp but would miss the Sep. 9 game against Washington and be eligible to return to the team on Sep. 10.
