The Atlanta Falcons announced Sunday the NFL suspended cornerback Jalen Collins for 10 games after he violated the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy.

Collins received a four-game suspension for a similar violation last April.

"We are extremely disappointed that for the second straight season we are dealing with a suspension for Jalen," Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said in a statement. "Such are the consequences when certain choices are made. Our decisions going forward will be based on what [head coach Dan Quinn] and I feel is best for the team.
