The NFL has suspended another Seattle Seahawks player for a violation of the league's PED policy. This time, the four-game ban will hit defensive lineman Bruce Irvin, who had eight sacks last season as a rookie.

Irvin offered up the following apology, "I am extremely disappointed in the poor judgment I showed and take full responsibility for my actions. I will not appeal the discipline and instead will focus my energy on preparing for the season so I can begin earning your trust and respect again. I look forward to contributing to the team the moment I return."
