Browns cornerback Joe Haden was on the practice field today, which means most likely he's not suspended for Sunday's opener against the Eagles. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said today in an email that if a player is practicing on Wednesday, he's generally available for that week. "But there is no specific timetable requirement,'' he wrote. "Each case is unique.'' Haden is awaiting a decision on his suspension appeal, according to Browns President Mike Holmgren. He stands to miss four games for reportedly testing positive for the stimulant Adderall unless he can get the suspension overturned or reduced. Source: Cleveland Plain Dealer
freaking BULLCRAP that hes not being suspended when saunders got nailed for the same crap and got denied
The appeal is still being processed so either they're slow or he has a legit beef.. Either way Haden should be on the field until they sort crap out.
A suspension is a suspension. I think it's crap that a player can "appeal" a suspension and be able to play in the meantime.
