FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - New York Jets wide receiver Jeremy Kerley was suspended four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, the league announced Monday.
The suspension, which leaked last week to the news media, is effective immediately. Kerley will be eligible to return to the active roster on Dec. 11, the day after the Jets face the Denver Broncos.
Kerley, in a statement, said he tested positive for Turinabol, but he took issue with the suspension, saying he was "shocked" because he's "never knowingly taken any banned substances.
