The NFL "hopes" to make changes to its marijuana testing policy during collective bargaining, according to a report from NBC Sports' Mike Florio.
Marijuana use is currently banned in the NFL. Players are suspended for using it after testing positive twice. After the first positive test, a player is put in the league's "Stage Two" intervention program, which means they can be tested more regularly for up to 24 months.
According to Florio, the NFL "realizes" it no longer has a "good reason" for letting marijuana use keep players from the sport. However, the league is reportedly being selective about when it will seek to make changes to its policy.
