Minnesota Vikings linebacker Kentrell Brothers has been suspended for the first four games of the regular season for violating the NFL's
performance-enhancing substances policy.
The league announced the punishment Friday for Brothers
William Hayes Jersey , who will remain eligible for practices and games in the offseason and preseason before having to sit out. He can rejoin the active
roster on Sept. 28, the day after Minnesota's fourth game. He can play on Oct. 7
when the Vikings take on Philadelphia.
Brothers was a fifth-round draft pick by the Vikings in 2016 out of Missouri. He has played only sparingly on defense. But he was second on the team in 2017
with 16 special teams tackles.
Alexander Wennberg will return to the Columbus Blue Jackets‘ lineup for Game 5 at the Washington Capitals.
Coach John Tortorella confirmed his return about an hour before puck drop on Saturday. Wennberg was back after missing Games 2
Davon House Jersey , 3 and 4 after a hit to the head from Washington’s Tom Wilson. Tortorella says Wennberg replaces Sonny Milano in the lineup.
Wennberg, the Blue Jackets’ second-line center
Marlon Humphrey Jersey , had developed chemistry with Boone Jenner and Thomas Vanek before being injured. His return restores Columbus’ depth down the
middle and helps on the power play.
Capitals coach Barry Trotz said if Wennberg was back in it would help the Blue Jackets but expressed confidence in his four centers – Evgeny Kuznetsov,
Nicklas Backstrom
Logan Thomas Jersey , Lars Eller and Jay Beagle – to match up with any opposing line.
The teams are tied at 2-all in the series. Game 6 is Monday night in Columbus.
