The Buccaneers have a number of problems this year, and now they have another one.
The league announced that defensive end Da’Quan Bowers had been suspended two games for violating the league’s performance enhancing substance policy.
Bowers, a former second-round pick, has been a disappointment in the NFL. Knee injuries kept him from showing the kind of pass-rush skills he had at Clemson, and he was no lock to make the Bucs roster this year during camp.
He has 6.5 career sacks, one of them this year.
He’ll be eligible to return on Monday, November 3 following the team’s game against the Cleveland Browns.
