Chicago Bears: Jeremiah Ratliff Suspended Three Games - BearGoggles
Jeremiah Ratliff of the Chicago Bears has been suspended without pay for the first three games of the 2015 regular season for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. Ratliff will be eligible to return to the Bears’ active roster on Monday, September 28 following the team’s September 27 game against the Seattle Seahawks. 22, 2013, on suspicion of DWI after a crash involving a tractor-trailer rig on Texas 114 in Grapevine, police have said. Neither Ratliff nor the driver of the big rig was hurt in the wreck. The crash happened about 12:30 a. m. in westbound lanes in the 2800 block of Texas 114. Ratliff, who lives in Southlake, was driving a black 2011 Ford F-150 pickup when he attempted to change lanes. A responding officer gave Ratliff a field sobriety test “and formed the opinion he was intoxicated,” Grapevine police have said. Ratliff refused an on-scene breath test, so officers subsequently obtained a warrant to draw a blood sample, police said. With Ratliff out, the spotlight will focus on second round draft pick Eddie Goldman, who’s been getting reps as the second nose tackle so far. Source: beargoggleson.com
