The Facts: Dixon will miss the first four games of the season while serving a suspension. The NFL confirmed today that Dixon has been suspended for violating the league policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

Diehards Line: “I want to apologize to the Ravens organization, my coaches, teammates and fans,” Dixon said in a statement. “Moving forward, I remain committed to focusing on my offseason training, conditioning and game preparation so I can be an immediate impact player for the Ravens when my suspension is over.” Dixon had 88 carries for 382 yards and two touchdowns, plus 30 catches for 162 yards and one touchdown, as a rookie last season. The Ravens added Danny Woodhead to their backfield via free agency so the newcomer and Terrance West will split the workload two ways for at least a month while Dixon cools his heels.
