Von Miller suspended four games

Denver Broncos Pro Bowl linebacker Von Miller is facing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, according to multiple sources.

The case currently is in the appeals process, so it's uncertain whether the suspension ultimately will stand. No date for Miller's appeal has been set yet, a league source said.

The league has a strict confidentiality clause on such cases. If the case works the way it's supposed to, the NFL would only comment if the appeal fails.

NFL Players Association spokesman George Atallah said in a tweet that the union is working closely with Miller on his appeal.

It is unknown which substances Miller is accused of using. Under NFL policy, Miller would have to test positive for banned substances twice before facing a four-game suspension.

The Denver Post reported Monday that Miller tested positive for amphetamines and steroids in 2011, his rookie season.

A league source said the Broncos were aware of an issue with Miller, so executive vice president of football operations John Elway and coach John Fox were not surprised by Monday's news.

The Broncos got rid of Dumervil during the off-season too. This really hurts.

Big blow for the Broncos. He has appealed the suspension by the way.

Big blow for the Broncos. He has appealed the suspension by the way.

It says that in the article I quoted.

It actually sounds like he has a chance with his appeal though, so this suspension might be reversed.
