The NFL has suspended Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo two games for violating the league's Performance Enhancing Substances policy, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Garoppolo reportedly used a prescribed medication without having a valid Therapeutic Use Exemption.
According to Schefter, Garoppolo will not appeal the suspension and will miss the first two games of the 2024-25 NFL season.
Which team Garoppolo will be on when he serves the suspension is yet to be determined. The Raiders are expected to cut the 32-year-old next month before he's due an $11.25 million roster bonus.
NFL rules state that Garoppolo is allowed to take part in offseason activities and training camp after signing with a new team. Once the regular season starts, he is not permitted to be a participant for the duration of his two-week suspension.

Two games doesn't seem normal for 'roids.
