Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenjon Barner has been suspended for four games without pay by the NFL for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing substances.

Barner, who was elevated from the Bucs’ practice squad for the last two games, is currently in concussion protocol after taking a big hit on an incomplete pass in the Bucs’ 38-31 win on Sunday and leaving the game early. Barner was not expected to play in the Bucs next game on Thursday night.

In his two games, he returned one kickoff back for 33 yards while playing nine snaps on special teams as well as four offensive snaps.

Barner will be eligible to return in Week 8 when the Bucs play at the Giants on Monday Night Football.

Here is a statement from the NFL regarding the suspension.

“Kenjon Barner, who is currently on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ practice squad, has been suspended without pay for four games for violating the NFL Policy on Performance-Enhancing Substances.

Barner is eligible for reinstatement on Tuesday, Nov. 3, following the Buccaneers’ Week 8 game at the New York Giants.”
