Kellen Winslow suspended 4 games for PED use

The New York Jets will be without tight end Kellen Winslow for their next four games following a suspension due to PEDs:

#Jets' Kellen Winslow has been suspended without pay for 4 games for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances.

Winslow’s suspension begins immediately. He'll be eligible to return to #Jets’ active roster on Nov. 4.

The four game suspension will not prevent the Dolphins from facing the Jets with Winslow, as they don't face off for another seven weeks, but it would mean the Jets, who are currently tied for second in the AFC East with the Dolphins at 3-2, will be without a security blanket for rookie quarterback Geno Smith over the span of the suspension.
