The Jones family may want to sleep the rest of July 2016 off.

Two weeks after UFC light heavyweight interim champion was tested positive for two Performance Enhancing Drugs and pulled from UFC 200, his older brother has fallen afoul of testers. Colts defensive lineman Arthur Jones will miss four games of the 2016/17 season after a violation of the NFL's policy on PEDs, the franchise has announced. https://twitter.com/dc_mma/status/756582929158041601 Arthur, who also has younger brother Chandler Jones (Arizona Cardinals) playing in the NFL, was signed to a five-year, $33 million contract in 2014 but has only played nine times for the Colts. He missed most of 2015 with an ankle injury. Barring any other suspensions, violations or injury, his season should start in Week 5 against the Chicago Bears. Jon Jones has been temporarily suspended after his A and B samples both came back positive after USADA tests.
