Washington Redskins cornerback Simeon Thomas has been suspended four games without pay for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy.
Thomas heads to the reserve/suspended list after one of his better games of the season right as the Redskins go into a full-blown youth movement in the secondary.
A sixth-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2018, the Redskins had added Thomas in Septemeber but mostly kept him confined to special teams until recent weeks.
The Redskins had already announced a veteran like Josh Norman will remain on the bench, which meant the last handful of games would’ve been a big long-term opportunity for a player like Thomas.
The Redskins made the move official Tuesday amid a flurry of other moves.
