“I sought care from a medical practitioner earlier this year, who prescribed medicine that he felt was permissible under the NFL’s drug policy. Since this drug was not a permitted substance under the NFL Policy on Performance Enhancing Substances, my faith in this specialist was misguided.
As a result of this blunder, I’ve been suspended for six games for using an illegal substance. I’d like to express my sincere regret to the Texans organization and all of my fans for this oversight. I’m looking forward to putting this experience behind me and returning in 2021 stronger than ever.
