In a bizarre story this weekend, former Steelers LB Lawrence Timmons went missing on Saturday in Los Angeles that prompted the Miami Dolphins to even file a missing persons report.
Timmons was found by police on Sunday trying to board a plane at LAX back to Pennsylvania where with his child lives.
We have suspended linebacker Lawrence Timmons indefinitely.

The Dolphins are not buying it as a good enough excuse to go AWOL and have suspended Timmons indefinitely, the team announced.
Timmons signed a 2 year, $12 million contract with the Dolphins. The deal included $11 million guaranteed.
Will Timmons ever play for the Dolphins?
On the heels of the indefinite suspension, the Dolphins have acquired linebacker Stephone Anthony from the New Orleans Saints. Anthony was a first round pick in 2015.
Miami can suspend Timmons without pay for four weeks.
A release is likely.
