The NFL on Tuesday upheld the 10-game suspension for Philadelphia Eaglesright tackle Lane Johnson for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy for a second time.

"We're very disappointed that Lane Johnson has been suspended 10 games. His actions have affected the entire organization," Eagles vice president Howie Roseman said in a statement. "We are all working under a clearly-defined set of rules and regulations set forth by the NFL in the collective bargaining agreement with the NFLPA.




Financial fallout from the Lane Johnson suspension
The remaining guarantees from the 5-year, $56 million deal Lane Johnson signed this offseason void as a result of his suspension.



"Moving forward, he has no choice but to hold himself accountable to Jeffrey Lurie, Coach [Doug] Pederson and his staff, his teammates, and to the entire organization and our fans. When he returns from suspension, we will continue to support him and welcome him back to the team. We are moving on with our preparations for this week's game in Washington."

Johnson, who has criticized the NFLPA regarding supplement use, had been eligible to play through the appeals process. He had a hearing last week at the NFL's New York office.

He'll get to play in weeks 16 and 17 when his team is already eliminated from the playoffs.

This is better to me now. It would have been different in PS as they could have gotten somebody ready. Now it's like an injury.

In all fairness, Zeke wasnt up to speed yet and was very impatient. I expect our next meeting to go very differently.

We're not the same team we were in week one, on either side of the ball.

Thankfully!

I understand appealing in hopes of having your suspension reduced, but...

All he accomplished was pushing his vacation into the playoff run. We'll soon see if it was worth the risk.

Then next time please use the Sarcastic Emoji when you post.

Sorry I had to make that joke

 

[VACowboy]

Geez, man. This is the second time I've done this in a week.

Sorry. I'll try to sharpen up.
