Bears rookie tackle Tayo Fabuluje has been suspended without pay for the next four games for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances.
Fabuluje's suspension begins immediately. The sixth-round draft pick from TCU will be eligible to return to the Bears' active roster on Monday, Dec. 7, one day after the team's home game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Fabuluje was inactive the first three games of the season and appeared in the next four contests as a reserve before being inactive again Monday night in San Diego.
His spot on the 53-man roster was taken Tuesday by receiver Deonte Thompson, who spent the last seven weeks on the Bears practice squad.
