Following up on an earlier item, a league spokesman said there's no rule that prohibits a suspended player from communicating with a teammate during his suspension.
In his news conference, Rex Ryan mentioned that WR Santonio Holmes has "already talked about skyping with Mark (Sanchez) every day about going over the offensive plays." Starting Friday, Holmes will serve a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. The violation occurred when he played for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Ryan didn't seem to know if skyping is legal.
"Well, I hope so," he said. "Let's hold off on that for now. Let's make a phone call real quick."
Actually, skyping is unnecessary. On a suspension of less than one year, the player is allowed to be at the team facility and participate in team activities other than practice, at the club's discretion, according to a league spokesman. The rule was changed several years ago.
It's widely assumed that suspended players can't be around their team. Not so. You learn something every day.
