Mike Jefferson suspended four games

In the fairly surprising news department, Mike Jefferson has been suspended by the NFL.

Cowboys practice squad receiver Mike Jefferson has been suspended four games by the NFL for violating the league's policy on anabolic steroids and related substances.

Jefferson will lose four weeks pay as a result. He was called up to the active roster for the season opener at Cleveland but did not play before he was cut and re-signed to the practice squad on Sept. 10.

Guess he should have bought T.O.'s book.

Doesn't effect anything

They need another PS Wr now. I would like for them to bring Lowber back as a PS player.

Jefferson is done as a Cowboy now.

Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!

I can't blame Jefferson

you can never be too buff on the practice squad…

Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig loves it.

It wasn't Steroids

per DC.com Jefferson took an over-the-counter dietary supplement, which is banned by the NFL.

That might be asking too much, LOL

What’s really stupid is that he has access to one of the best trainers in the league and doesn’t even have to think about buying supplements, he probably has info sheets on diet and workout regimens that were tailored to his physique.

Moron

Why not just wear a shirt that says “Cut me please” to practice? This guy does not have a lot of wiggle room and therefore no room for error. If he is taking roids and barely clinging to the practice squad I think it’s time to start filling out apps at Home Depot.
