The NFL reportedly suspended New Orleans Saints wide receiver Willie Snead for the first three games of the 2017 season on Friday, according to ESPN.com's Field Yates.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport added the ban was reduced from four games to three on appeal after Snead violated the league's policy on substances of abuse.

According to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter, Snead's suspension stemmed from a DUI during the offseason.

Snead, 24, caught a career-high 72 passes for 895 yards and four touchdowns last season.
