Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo suspended 2 games for violating PED policy

Jimmy Garoppolo is being suspended for two games after violating the NFL’s Performance Enhancing Substances Policy.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is being suspended for two games after violating the NFL’s Performance Enhancing Substances Policy, according to various insiders.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, “the policy violation is related to him using a prescribed medication without having a valid Therapeutic Use Exemption.”

Garoppolo is not expected to appeal the decision, per Schefter, and will miss the first two games of the 2024 season — whoever he’s playing for.

Garoppolo is not expected back with the Raiders next season. According to Schefter, Las Vegas is expected to release Garoppolo before the fifth day of the new league year next month, when he would earn an $11.25 million roster bonus.
