Colts' Al-Quadin Muhammad Suspended for Six Games
Suspension due to performance-enhancing substance violation comes as Colts vie for playoff spot.
- Indianapolis Colts defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad has been suspended for six games due to a violation of the NFL's performance-enhancing substance policy.
- Muhammad will miss the Colts' remaining five regular-season games, and either next year's season opener or a playoff game.
- The suspension comes as the Colts, currently holding the AFC's seventh and final playoff spot, are one game behind AFC South-leading Jacksonville.
- Muhammad, a sixth-round draft pick of New Orleans in 2017, has been with the Colts for two different stints, developing into a 17-game starter in 2022.
- The suspension coincides with the return of defensive tackle Grover Stewart to the Colts following a six-game suspension for the same violation.
