GREEN BAY - Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger has been suspended without pay for the first two games of the 2021 regular season for violating NFL policy and program on substances of abuse, the league announced Thursday.
Sternberger will miss the Packers' regular-season opener Sept. 12 at the New Orleans Saints and home opener against the Detroit Lions. He is eligible to return for the Packers' third game Sept. 26 at San Francisco.
The 2019 third-round draft pick out of Texas A&M has had a slow start to his Packers career.
