Jets' Jeremy Kerley, suspended 4 games for PEDs, says, 'This is not right'

The NFL on Monday announced that Jets wide receiver Jeremy Kerley has been suspended without pay for the next four games, because he violated the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

Kerley is the Jets' No. 3 receiver, behind Jermaine Kearse and Robby Anderson.

Kerley, who regularly lines up in the slot, likely will be replaced by one of two rookies -- ArDarius Stewart or Chad Hansen. Stewart has four catches this year, Hansen zero.

"Those guys will get a lot more repetitions," Jets coach Todd Bowles said. "We'll look into some other gymnastics of maybe bringing somebody else up [off the practice squad] or bringing somebody else in [via a free agent signing].
