Free agent cornerback Justin Gilbert was reportedly suspended for the first four games of the 2017 season by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Courtney Fallon of NFL Network reported the news Thursday, and Ian Rapoport of NFL.com noted the penalty was for the violation of the NFL's Substances of Abuse policy.
The suspension makes the 2014 first-round pick an even less attractive option on the free-agency market after the Pittsburgh Steelers cut him this offseason. He appeared in 12 games for the Steelers in 2016 and notched three tackles and zero interceptions.
