Mr. Burfict will be missing the first 4-games of the 2018 regular season.

It wouldn’t be an NFL season without a Vontaze Burfict suspension, right?

Well, good news is the new league year has officially commenced with the troubled Cincinnati Bengals linebacker’s 4-game Performance Enhancing Drug (PED) being upheld after his appeal.

#Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict has been suspended without pay for the first four games of the 2018 regular season for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Burfict, who claimed he took a banned substance from a team physician after JuJu Smith-Schuster’s hit gave him a concussion, was adamant of his innocence in this situation.
