Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict is facing a four-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Bengals’ LB Vontaze Burfict is facing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s Performance-Enhancing Drug policy, pending appeal, league sources tell ESPN. No appeal date yet.
Burfict has been suspended a number of times in his career, mostly for illegal hits, but this would be his first suspension for PEDs.
The Oakland Raiders were reportedly working on a trade for Burfict earlier this week, though it appears this suspension would kill any talks about a deal.
