Texans' Denico Autry Suspended 6 Games for PED Violation

Autry asserts unintentional ingestion, accepts NFL's penalty while exploring legal options.

Houston Texans defensive end Denico Autry will miss the first six games of the 2024 season.
The suspension follows a positive test for a banned substance, which Autry claims was due to a pharmacy error.
Autry has never tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in his ten-year NFL career until now.
He signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Texans after a standout season with the Tennessee Titans.
Autry will be eligible to return to the field on October 20 against the Green Bay Packers.
