Julian Edelman Appeal Denied, 4-Game Suspension Stands
FOXBORO (CBS) - New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman will officially miss the first four games of the 2018 football season, the NFL has confirmed.
Edelman's appeal of his four-game suspension was denied Tuesday.
Edelman stated his case against the NFL recently in a day-long appeal of his four-game suspension for violating the league's performance enhancing drug policy.
He will miss the Patriots' first four regular-season games against the Texans, Jaguars, Lions and Dolphins.
Edelman reportedly hired attorney Alex Spiro, who has represented a handful of athletes in past appeals, to help in his fight.
Edelman has maintained his innocence since news broke of his suspension back on June 7.
