Report: Dolphins' Tunsil won't begin career in substance abuse program

Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil is not expected to be placed into the NFL's substance abuse program to start his career, a source told ESPN's James Walker.

However, the league will be monitoring Tunsil and offering him the necessary assistance to ensure that he doesn't need to enter the program in the future, notes Walker.

After Tunsil's dramatic draft day fall caused by an intentionally leaked video of him taking a bong-hit, there were questions whether he could face discipline from the league.

While that was reportedly not the case, it was possible that Tunsil could have been referred into the program and would then have been more at risk of discipline if further incidents occurred.

However, it appears the NFL is giving Tunsil a clean slate.

"I do not have a drug problem," Tunsil said after getting drafted. "You can check all my college tests. I never failed one."

Tunsil was thought of as the best prospect available in the draft, but fell all the way to the Dolphins at the No. 13 overall pick.
