When the Green Bay Packers open the 2017 regular season against the Seahawks, they won't have receiver Geronimo Allison.

If the Packers are keeping Guion, I'm wondering when they're going to get around to determining his Hawaii DUI suspension, and how long it might be. It would suck to make room for him on the 53, just to put him on the suspension list later in the season.

Correct me if I'm wrong,
I don't think any suspended player counts against the 53 man roster until the suspension is up.
When over then the team must make a rostet move or release the player.

We don't owe Guion or Allison any money either until the suspension is over so I'm not seeing any necessity in making a decision on them until then. If injuries strike at WR/DL they're nice insurance policies to have.

After Guion's suspension is up... it would suck to release another player, making room for Guion... just for Guion to get another 4+ game suspension during the season.
