Houston Texans defensive tackle Mario Edwards Jr. has received a four-game suspension without pay for breaking the NFL’s substance abuse policy.
Edwards, who was suspended on Monday, can return after Houston’s game against Detroit on November 10.
The 30-year-old has started every game for the Texans this season and has recorded 18 tackles, two sacks, and one fumble recovery.
He signed a one-year, $2 million contract with Houston in March after playing for Seattle last season.
The team has not yet commented on his suspension.
This suspension comes on the same day that defensive end Denico Autry was reinstated after completing a six-game suspension for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy.
