Indianapolis Colts offensive tackle Antonio Garcia has been suspended without pay for the first four games of the 2019 regular season for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substance policy.
The league made the announcement Monday.
Garcia, 25, was a third-round pick of the New England Patriots in 2017 but has yet to play in a regular-season game.
Garcia missed his rookie season due to blood clots in his lungs, reportedly losing more than 40 pounds. The Patriots released Garcia in May 2018 with a non-football injury designation.
The Colts added Garcia to their practice squad in October.
