According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, free agent S Taylor Mays is facing an additional four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy on top of his current four-game ban. If his second suspension is upheld, Mays will miss the first eight games of the 2016 regular season which Rapoport is stating is the "explanation" behind the troubled safety's recent release from the Bengals. The insider added that Cincinnati has not "ruled out" adding Mays once he is eligible to return to the field. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
Taylor Mays is expected to serve out his full eight-game ban to start the 2016 season. Mays will likely be eligible to return to the field at the midway point of the season and a number of teams could warrant his services entering te second half of the campaign, especially the injury plagued and playoff bound.
