St. Louis Rams tight end Brody Eldridge has been suspended without pay for the first four games of the 2012 regular season for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, a league spokesman confirmed to NFL.com and NFL Network on Monday.
Howard Balzer of The Sports Xchange initially reported the suspension earlier Monday.
The Rams acquired Eldridge on waivers this offseason after he spent two seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. He had 14 catches for 84 yards in that time.
