In the latest edition of a Baltimore athlete getting suspended for Adderall, Ravens’ defensive lineman Haloti Ngata was suspended for four games, the team announced.
The perennial Pro-Bowl tackle admitted to taking adderall, and violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
The 330-pounder is the center of the Ravens’ fourth rated run defense. He’s also racked up two sacks, two interceptions and seven batted passes this year. He is eligible to re-join the team after the regular season is over. So, he will only return this year if the Ravens make the playoffs.
“I made a mistake, and I own this,” Ngata said in a statement. “I took Adderall and take full responsibility for doing this.
The Ravens will likely turn to Timothy Jernigan, who was late to a meeting because he was building a snowman.
