METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints defense could be even more depleted to start the 2021 season after standout defensive tackle David Onyemata announced that he is facing a suspension for testing positive for a banned substance.
Onyemata, 28, was also suspended for one game to start the 2019 season after being issued a misdemeanor summons for marijuana possession. It's unclear if that could potentially affect the length of a new suspension, which appears to fall under the category of performance-enhancing substances based on his Instagram post.
The specific violation and the length of his potential suspension were not immediately known.
