Onyemata suspended for banned substance

His absence for any period of time will be huge. And the reason is the free-agency losses of Rankins, Brown, and Hendrickson, as well as Janoris Jenkins. Individually, the loss of any of the departing defensive linemen could be overcome. In fact, keeping Jenkins and one of the two tackles would have been acceptable. But collectively, the loss of all four defensive players will impact greatly the 2021 team. And now it appears we will lose Onyemata for several games. More and more, 2021 looks like a transition year where a playoff spot looks questionable and the future is 2022.
