The NFL and NFL Player’s Association are working towards a new drug policy that could impact the status of several players currently serving suspensions. Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker and Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick are currently serving suspensions for amphetamines and could see their suspensions reduced completely as that drug gets reclassified as recreational instead of performance-enhancing.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon is serving a season long suspension for a failed drug test and his suspension could be altered as well, but not as easily.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Gordon wouldn’t get his suspension entirely reversed like Welker and Scandrick, but he could still see it be reduced.
Fox’s Mike Garafolo predicts eight games.
