It's far from a foregone conclusion that the Baltimore Ravens will cut tight end Nick Boyle when his 10-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances is over. But Boyle's second suspension in two seasons definitely puts a career that began with plenty of promise at risk.
Boyle, selected in the fifth round a year ago, was once considered the steal of the Ravens' draft last season with his strong blocking and better-than-expected production in the passing game. Some believed he was outplaying second-round tight end Maxx Willliams for the first three months.
