The Facts: The league announced Waller was suspended for at least a year for violating the league's policy on substances of abuse. He can participate in training camp and the preseason, but his punishment will begin at the start of the regular season.
Diehards Line:
Waller was suspended the first four games of last season for a similar violation, but caught 10 passes in the next 12 games. He talked about his marijuana use after his last suspension, but there’s no announced cause for this violation. The Ravens already lost tight end Dennis Pitta to a likely career-ending hip injury this offseason, leaving them thin there, and counting on the return of Benjamin Watson.
