The first week of the NFL has arrived, and four players with Alabama football roots who normally would be suited up won't be at the games -- not because they're injured but because they've been suspended by the league.
The NFL suspended San Francisco 49ers inside linebacker Reuben Foster on July 3 for the first two games of the 2018 regular season for violating the league's Personal Conduct Policy and its Policy and Program on Substances of Abuse.
The NFL suspended New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram on May 8 for the first four games for violating the league's Policy on Performance-Enhancing Substances.
