With his four-game suspension over, cornerback Joselio Hanson has returned to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Hanson was suspended for violating the NFL’s policy regarding anabolic steroids and related substances. At the time of the suspension, lawyer David Cornwell called Hanson “a casualty of the looming labor war in the NFL” and said that Hanson was suspended because he took “a pill that turned out to be a diuretic.”
Whatever the details of the suspension, Hanson is back after a month away, and Eagles coach Andy Reid, who met with Hanson, says he’s hoping Hanson is ready to get back into the mix immediately.
“We haven’t been able to do anything with him,” Reid said. “I just want to see where he’s at. He’s normally a hard worker, but he’s been gone a month. I want to see what kind of shape he’s in. I would hope that he’d be able to get back in there and go, but I’ll have to see.”
The Eagles released rookie receiver Jordan Norwood to make room for Hanson on the roster.
