Titan suspended

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, has been suspended by the NFL for the first four games of the season for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancers.

Taylor Lewan, Tennessee’s three-time Pro Bowl left tackle, said the NFL has suspended him for the first four games of the season for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancers. Lewan announced his suspension Wednesday in an emotional video he posted to social media, saying he received the letter from the NFL a few weeks ago that he had tested positive for ostarine. He said he wanted to share the news himself, which comes a day before the Titans report for training camp. Lewan said he took a polygraph voluntarily and shared the results to his Instagram account showing he passed when saying no to whether he ever knowingly took ostarine or used any illegal drug to boost his performance. The Titans made Lewan the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL with a new contract at the start of training camp a year ago. They just signed guard Rodger Saffold in free agency to anchor the left side of the offensive line to better protect quarterback Marcus Mariota, who’s in the final season of his contract. Tennessee does have right tackle Jack Conklin available for the start of training camp along with Dennis Kelly and Kevin Pamphile, who spent much of the offseason practicing at right guard, as other options at tackle. The Titans open the season Sept. 8 at Cleveland.
