The New Orleans Saints defense was already set to undergo plenty of turnover before the recent suspension of David Onyemata. Now, a defense that was among the league’s best will scramble to replace one of its best players.

Onyemata took to social media on Friday to announce that he had been suspended for six games after violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy.

As a result, the Saints lost yet another key piece to their defense at a position where they were already thin, to begin with.
