Broncos Cornerback, AJ Bouye, Could Be Suspended For Taking Banned Substance

A similar situation occurred in Houston recently with former Broncos cornerback Bradley Roby. Roby and current Texans teammate Will Fuller were each suspended six games. A similar suspension for Bouye is likely.

The loss of Bouye would be detrimental to the Broncos. Denver has been dealing with injuries in the secondary all season long.

Bryce Callahan is dealing with a foot injury, and rookie cornerback Essang Bassey suffered a knee injury in the loss to the Chiefs.
