The NFL suspended Packers tight end Jace Sternberger for the first two games of the 2021 season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
Sternberger released a statement taking responsibility for a “horrible decision” in consuming alcohol while taking antidepressants.
“In February 2020, I made a horrible decision,” Sternberger wrote on Twitter. “While on antidepressants, I decided to drink, which led me to falling asleep behind the wheel. My coaches and teammates were the first people to know. I want to apologize to the Green Bay Packers organization and everyone else who has supported me along this journey.
