Chicago Bears linebacker Jerrell Freeman earned a 10-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
He provided an apology from his personal Twitter account:
Freeman only played one game this season before suffering a concussion and pectoral injury. He was placed on injured reserve before Week 2.
Despite being on IR, he will serve the suspension immediately and be out the final eight games of this season and, unless the Bears reach the playoffs, the first two of 2018, per JJ Stankevitz of NBC Sports Chicago.
