It looks like the NFL is about to have another battle on its hands after disciplining a Patriots player.
Julian Edelman will have his four-game suspension appeal heard on Monday, according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano.
Graziano stated that the two major elements of the wideout’s defense are that the substance he tested positive for a substance that wasn’t recognized by the drug testers—which was first reported by The MMQB’s Albert Breer—and that the NFL mishandled the documentation and delivery of Edelman’s test results.
ESPN had reported that Edelman was facing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy in early June.
