Jaguars wide receiver Ace Sanders has decided to seek help for his substance abuse issues.
Sanders is taking a leave of absence from the team. The young receiver is already facing a four game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Sanders spoke to the media on a conference call arranged by the Jaguars media relations department. During the call, Sanders wasn't specific if he would enter a rehab facility or seek one on one counseling. He specified he would be away for the entire training camp but would come back ready to play.
Sanders had 51 catches in his rookie season last year. While he is eligible to still participate in practices during the suspension, he won't make his debut for the team until October 5 against the Steelers.
