(CBS) Bears linebacker Jerrell Freeman has been suspended 10 games for a repeat violation of the league’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs, the team announced Monday afternoon.
Freeman is currently on injured reserve but is still allowed to begin serving his suspension immediately. He was suspended for four games last November for a first-time violation.
Freeman suffered a torn pectoral muscle in the regular season opener and was placed on injured reserve days later. He underwent surgery to repair the injury.
Coach John Fox will speak on Freeman’s situation on Monday afternoon. The Bears are entering a bye week at 3-5 on the season.
