Henry reportedly fails drug test
DENVER — Free agent running back Travis Henry faces a one-year suspension after the NFL ruled he again tested positive for marijuana, the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News reported Friday, citing unnamed NFL sources.
The Broncos were not aware of the ruling before releasing Henry on June 2, the Denver Post reported, citing two unnamed league sources.
The newspaper reported that an unnamed source close to Henry, an ex-Buffalo Bill, confirmed the league said he tested positive for marijuana in May, which would be Henry’s third offense and put him in line for a one-year suspension.
In 2005, Henry served a four-game drug-related suspension while with the Tennessee Titans.
Early last season, the NFL ruled Henry tested positive for the active ingredient in marijuana. Henry successfully appealed the ruling by arguing against the testing procedure.
