BREAKING: Houston Texans Dealt Major Blow As Star Player Suspended By The NFL For Six Games

Denico Autry is getting his career off with the Houston Texans in the worst way possible.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the NFL is suspending defensive end Denico Autry for six games for violating its policy against performance-enhancing drugs.

He denied using performance-enhancing drugs through his agent, Rodney Edwards.

“Over the course of my ten-year NFL career, I have never engaged in use of performance enhancing drugs,” Autry said in a written statement. “Over that period, I have been subject to countless tests, none of which have ever returned a positive result. I was stunned this offseason when I learned that one of my tests returned a positive result.

“I immediately investigated the matter and discovered that a pharmacy to which my doctors submitted a prescription for a different medication, had, whether intentionally, recklessly, or negligently, included a banned substance.”

Denico Autry made it clear that he did not know the medication contained a banned substance, but he did accept his suspension while he apologized to the Texans, his teammates, and the fan base.
