Shortly after signing two free agents, the Buffalo Bills have announced that both will be suspended for several games.

The Buffalo Bills signed free agents Michael Hoecht and Larry Ogunjobi this week.

However, neither of them will be able to help the defensive line in the first few games of the upcoming season.

The franchise’s general manager, Brandon Beane, told U.S. reporters at a press conference that both players will be suspended for six games for violating the NFL’s drug policy.
