    St. Louis Rams linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar is in coach Jeff Fisher’s doghouse. Who knows if he’ll ever dig himself out.

    With the announcement of Dunbar’s four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy against performance-enhancing drugs, Fisher had strong words about Dunbar’s actions.

    “We’ve known about it for some time and, obviously, we’ve been dealing with it,†Fisher told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “First and foremost, we’re very, very disappointed in his choices and his decisions. It’s selfish, it hurts the team, but we also see it as an opportunity to learn from a mistake.

    “We discussed it with the entire squad last night and I think everybody understands the responsibility that each and every player has as far as taking care of himself and what you can do and what you can’t do. It’s behind us now.â€

    Dunbar is allowed to participate in preseason work, but will miss games against Arizona, Atlanta, Dallas and San Francisco.
