Steelers Eli Rogers suspended the first week of the 2018 season due to substance abuse violation

Just when you thought the Pittsburgh Steelers sent the player they had on their roster with a substance abuse problem to the Oakland Raiders, Eli Rogers finds himself suspended for the first week of the 2018 regular season due to violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

Here is a statement from General Manager Kevin Colbert, via the Steelers official website:

We are disappointed that Eli Rogers has been suspended for Week 1 of the regular season as part of the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.
