First I've heard of this. Sad, he's always been one of my favorite Vols in the NFL. (and still will be)

[b] ST. LOUIS -- Tennessee Titans running back Travis Henry will be suspended for four games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, CBS reported Sunday.

CBS said on its The NFL Today pregame show that Henry would be disciplined. A Titans spokesman said he was unaware of the situation. Phone messages left with Hadley Engelhard, Henry's agent, were not returned.

Henry was the Titans' leading rusher with 97 yards and a 3.5 yard average in the first two games, and had two carries for no yards in the first half of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams.

The Titans acquired Henry from the Bills for a third-round draft pick in July just before training camp. Henry started 48 of 53 games in four seasons with the Bills, rushing for 3,849 yards and a 4.0 yard average, and has scored 67 touchdowns.

Need to wait on the details. This could be anything from something illegal to accidentally taking an over the counter medication with a banned substance in it.

Guess they arent as easy to cover up in the pro's.

Henry's been getting a lot of bad publicity of late.

First he wouldnt play in buffalo and now this.

Wouldnt surprise me if he isnt on waivers soon.

Someone needs to remind bammer they aren't in the pros so it's illegal to pay for players. Oh wait, they did!

It's just a little weed, it's not like he took steroids. It isn't even as harmful as alcohol or tobacco. He just needs a slap on the wrist for the whacky tobacky.

Maybe so, but I'll never understand it. If marijuana isn't addictive, as most people who smoke it claim, why in the world as an NFL player would you smoke it knowing that they test for it and cost yourself thousands if not millions of dollars?

The stock of Tennessee running backs in the NFL is currently plumetting.

**GAVol** · 09-30-2005, 11:10 AM

Their stock won't be affected at all. NFL GMs are conveniently very forgiving on matters like this.

Sincerely,
Ricky Williams
