JACKSONVILLE (Florida Sports Wire) – The National Football League today suspended Jaguars offensive linemam Cam Robinson for the first four games of the 2023 regular season for violating the NFL Policy on Performance-Enhancing Substances.
“As a veteran leader in the locker room, I always want to set a good example and my actions in this instance are not a reflection of that goal,” Robinson said. “I apologize to the fans, my coaches and, most importantly, my teammates. It hurts me that I cannot be out there with my brothers at the start of the regular season. I will attack training camp the same way I have for the last six seasons, to make sure I am ready both mentally and physically.”
Robinson is eligible to participate in all preseason practices and games. He will be allowed to return to the Jaguars’ active roster on Monday, Oct. 2, following the team’s Week 4 game vs. Atlanta.
In statement the club said “We are aware of the four-game suspension incurred today byCam Robinson. While we certainly respect the NFL’s ruling and are disappointed with this development, we will support Cam as he works his way through the suspension. We are confident that Cam and our team will rise above this challenge as we collectively move forward.”
