COSTA MESA, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Chargers announced on Tuesday that the NFL has suspended center Max Tuerk for the first four games of the regular season without pay for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances.
Tuerk is the second Charger who will have to miss time this season for violating the league policy on performance enhancing drugs. Defensive tackle Tenny Palepoi still has to serve one game on his four-game suspension that was levied last season.
Tuerk, 23, can return to the team's active roster on Monday, Oct.
