Chicago Bears defensive end Montez Sweat has received a two-game suspension from the NFL for violating the league's rules on performance-enhancing substances, according to reports from ESPN and Fox News.
According to reporting from Fox News, the unpaid ban will sideline the 30-year-old defensive lineman for contests against the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots before his scheduled reinstatement on Oct. 23. The specific banned substance triggering the penalty was not made public.
Fox News also reported that the disciplinary action intensifies Chicago's front-line roster strains. Defensive lineman Dayo Odeyingbo sustained a quadriceps injury in Sunday's defeat against Green Bay, while fellow lineman Shemar Turner faces workload limitations following a return from a prior knee injury.
