Rams stung by drug suspensions of Bailey, Watts

Stung by two player drug suspensions in the past week, Rams coach Jeff Fisher promised an aggressive approach in trying to prevent future issues.

"We've been educating our players for years," Fisher said earlier in the week. "There's a procedure, and there's a protocol, and they have to adhere to it.

"Once you go in the testing program, if you have another violation, then you're going to be subject to whatever the circumstances are. You can't take it lightly."

With wide receiver Stedman Bailey suspended for a month, and running back Trey Watts suspended indefinitely for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, Fisher was asked if there was a league-wise drug use problem.
