The NFL suspended Washington Commanders practice squad cornerback Kevon Seymour.
Seeing Seymour was on the practice squad on the same day that the Commanders released former first-round draft selection (2021) DE Jamin Davis, Seymour’s suspension could go unnoticed by many in the fan base.
Seymour, who has played for the Bills (2016), Panthers (2017), Eagles (2020), and Ravens (2021-23), came to the Commanders and was elevated to the active roster for two games.
Seymour, who turns 31 in November, was suspended by the NFL for six games for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substance policy. The league suspension means Seymour (drafted 218 overall by the Bills in 2016) will not be paid during the six weeks.
It also means Seymour is strictly prohibited from practicing with the team until the suspension concludes. Consequently, the cornerback from the USC Trojans is ineligible to return to the Commanders until following the contest against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13, scheduled for Sunday, December 1.
This means that had Seymour been elevated or signed to the active roster, he would have been certain to miss games against the Bears (WK 8), the Giants (WK 9), the Steelers (WK 10), the Eagles (WK 11), the Cowboys (WK 12), and the Titans (WK 13).
If the Commanders were to keep Seymour, he would first be available for game action in their Week 15 road game against the Saints in New Orleans.
At this time, the NFL has not elaborated, making no additional comments other than the simple fact that Seymour has been officially suspended. This is not unusual, as the NFL usually doesn’t disclose details regarding the PED violations or the substances discovered in the testing.
