TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona Cardinals star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is being suspended six games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Hopkins withdrew his appeal, a source told Schefter, so the suspension will stand.
The suspension comes four days after the Cardinals traded their first-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday for wide receiver Marquise Brown.
Hopkins, a three-time first-team All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl selection, is set to turn 30 on June 6 and is coming off an injury-riddled season that led to the lowest output of his career.
