NFL suspends Jerrell Freeman 10 games without pay for PED policy violation
Effective immediately, the NFL has suspended Bears linebacker Jerrell Freeman without pay for the next 10 games, regular and/or postseason, for violation of the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Freeman has been on the team’s Reserved/Injured list since Sept. 12, two days after the season-opening loss to the Falcons. He is on IR with a torn pectoral muscle, though he also went into the concussion protocol after the Falcons game.
Following the announcement of the suspension, Freeman tweeted an apology, and wrote about the effects of his head injury.
