The NFL on Tuesday suspended Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson 10 games for violating the league's substance abuse policy. The suspension was first reported by NFL.com.

It's Henderson's second such suspension this season; he'd been suspended for four games earlier in the year. He has already appealed the suspension and had the ruling upheld.

On the surface, this isn't unusual. Players get suspended for violating the substance abuse policy all the time, and many of them are suspended for using Henderson's substance of choice: marijuana.
