Broncos DE Derek Wolfe dealt four-game suspension

With training camp just a week away, the NFL suspensions keep on coming.

Hours after Chiefs cornerback Sean Smith received a three-game ban, Denver Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe was hit with a four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, the league announced Friday.

The fourth-year pass rusher will miss Denver's season-opener against the Ravens along with clashes against the Chiefs, Lions and Vikings.

"During the offseason I took a medication which is on the banned substance list," Wolfe said in the statement released by the team.
