WINNIPEG — Wide receiver Kenny Lawler has been suspended by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers after he told the team he had been arrested for drunk driving.

“Kenny informed the team today of his arrest for operating a motor vehicle while impaired early this morning. Upon further investigation, the club has suspended Kenny for Friday’s game and has reported the incident to the league office,” The Blue Bombers wrote in a statement. “We take this incident very seriously and have spoken at length with Kenny throughout the day. Kenny recognizes the seriousness of the situation and that this type of behaviour is unacceptable and inexcusable. He has agreed to seek assistance as it relates to alcohol abuse, and has cooperated fully with police on the matter.”

Lawler will miss Friday’s game when the Edmonton Elks visit Winnipeg.

The Blue Bombers said in a statement that Lawler was arrested for operating a motor vehicle while impaired early Monday morning.

The team said it reported the incident to the CFL’s head office and that Lawler agreed to seek help for alcohol abuse.

Lawler leads the CFL with 703 receiving yards this season and his 45 catches are second in the league. The 27-year-old is coming off a career-best performance where he recorded 12 receptions for 205 yards and a touchdown against the B.C. Lions.

He has four receiving touchdowns, tied for second in the CFL.
