Sources: WFT puts assistant trainer Doug Quon on leave amid DEA investigation

ASHBURN, Va., -- The Washington Football Team has placed assistant athletic trainer Doug Quon on administrative leave, according to multiple sources.

The move comes within a week of head athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion being placed on leave pending an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Agency.

It's uncertain when Quon was placed on leave -- or the reason why -- but he was not at practice late in the week.

The team had no comment, referring to a statement it released Monday announcing Vermillion's situation when it said the investigation was not team-related.

On Wednesday, the NFL Players' Association has sent the NFL a request for information regarding the reports of the DEA's investigation, citing player health and safety.
