NFL suspends Falcons linebacker Robert James

Posted by NBC Sports on July 8, 2010, 1:57 PM EDT

The NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances continues to get a workout this offseason.

The league suspended Falcons linebacker Robert James four games for violating the policy, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.  James isn’t eligible to return until October 3 against the 49ers.

A fifth-round pick in 2008, James missed his rookie season to a concussion.  He was active for only one game last year after spending the season on the practice squad.

    Losing a special teams player for four games won’t hinder our complete dominance this season.
