Cleveland Browns tackle Ryan Tucker is suspended for violation of NFL steroid policy

Posted by Tony Grossi August 03, 2007 11:04AM

Browns right tackle Ryan Tucker will be suspended for the first four games of the regular season for a violation of the NFL steroid policy

Tucker will continue to practice with the team and will participate in preseason games, playing on the second and third units, according to head coach Romeo Crennel.

The immediate plan is for Kevin Schaffer to move from left tackle to right tackle to replace Tucker and for top draft pick Joe Thomas to move into the starting job at left tackle. Crennel pointed out that if Kelly Butler proves to be a better right tackle, Schaffer could move back to the left side and continue to compete with Thomas.

Crennel said that Tucker's status with the team would be re-evaluated after his suspension.

Tucker left the team on two occasions last year for an undisclosed mental illness

It's not like their losing Anthony Munoz or anything, but still.....

Took games off last year for mental illness? I hope the guy gets everything taken care of personally.....

He was on the little-used MUP -- "Mentally Unable to Perform" List.

Ha...

I heard on ESPN that he tried steroids in an attempt to jump-start his career last season. Hello back-up week two!

If you cant play for the Browns, maybe retirement is a bettter option.
