Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis is suspended for the first three games of the season after violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy — a major setback for a player who was making strong impressions during training camp. A second-round pick by the Commanders, Mathis was re-signed by Buffalo last offseason and was seen as a key run-stopper for their defense. Coaches praised his athleticism and effort, but now he’ll miss the opener and won’t return until September 28th. This echoes last year’s suspensions of Ogunjobi and Hoecht, raising questions about whether Mathis can still make the final roster despite his talent and early promise.
