Arizona Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington has an impending four-game suspension to begin the 2013 regular season, but he might miss a portion of training camp as well with an impending court date set for Aug. 6 at 8:30 a.m. local time, according to the Maricopa County Superior Court.

Whether or not Washington’s attendance at the court date is required is not yet known, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com, but it’s another upcoming distraction for the linebacker who has followed up a Pro Bowl year in 2012 with a disastrous offseason. Washington was given a four-game suspension in April for violating the league’s substance abuse policy and was arrested in May for two counts of aggravated assault, for which he pleaded not guilty.
In June, Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians spoke about the off-field troubles of Washington and warned the young linebacker that he’s “walking a very thin line,” regarding his NFL future.
A second-round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, Washington recorded nine sacks, an interception and two forced fumbles for the Cardinals in 2012, earning second-team All-Pro honors for the first time in his career.
