Henderson Suspended 4 Games; Vikings Promote Leman

Minnesota Vikings’ linebacker Erin Henderson has been suspended four games by the NFL for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

The NFL does not specify the substances for which players test positive.  Henderson is suspended for the final three regular season games as well as the first playoff game.

The Vikings promoted linebacker Jeremy Leman from their practice squad to the 53-man roster to take Henderson’s spot on the active roster.  Cornerback DeAndre Wright has been re-signed to the practice squad.
