Miami Dolphins rookie Laremy Tunsil is expected to get a clean slate from the NFL and will not begin his pro career under Stage 1 of the league’s substance abuse program, a source told ESPN.

The source added, however, that the league will closely monitor and support Tunsil in the event intervention is needed.
