Atlanta Falcons: Cornerback Jalen Collins suspended for first four games of 2016 season

Jalen Collins didn’t hit the heights many hoped for as a rookie, and he’ll now have to wait until the fifth game of the 2016 season to make his impact. The Atlanta Falcons will be without Collins due to suspension.

The report was confirmed on the official Atlanta Falcons website:

“Jalen Collins of the Atlanta Falcons has been suspended without pay for the first four games of the 2016 regular season for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances.”

This is bad news for the Falcons who are left a little thin at cornerback without the second-year player.
