Two-year starting left tackle Cameron Goldberg was suspended from the Duke football team for a violation of team policy, coach David Cutcliffe announced on Tuesday.

Goldberg was participating in spring drills but will not play in Saturday's 1 p.m. spring game at Wallace Wade Stadium. He has been suspended from all football-related activities effective immediately but will have time to earn his way back onto the team in time for the beginning of preseason practice in August.

A 6-foot-6, 280-pound senior from Lutherville, Md., Goldberg started all 12 games last season at left tackle. He has 23 starts in 32 career games.
