The best defense is a good offense, and the New England Patriots’ Julian Edelman is going on offense to fight his four-game suspension to start the 2018 NFL season. Here’s the current breakdown.
Why was Edelman suspended?
Earlier this month, word came from the NFL that Edelman, who is recovering from a torn ACL, had violated the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. Edelman faces a suspension for the first four games of the 2018 season after missing all of 2017 with the injury.
Edelman questioned how he could have violated NFL rules, and a later revelation in The MMQB cast some doubt on the testing process.
