NFL Insider Jay Glazer further explained Scandrick's suspension:

Just talked to Orlando Scandrick about his 4 game suspension. Says he took something in Mexico while on vacation and it texted positive on banned list for performance enhancer.

Bottom line in this league you are responsible for what you put in your body and Orlando said he understands that and takes responsibility

Information released on Tuesday reveals the banned substance Scandrick took in Mexico was MDMA commonly referred to as Molly. Scandrick denies knowingly taking the substance but apologized to his team, family and fans for the suspension.

Scandrick won't be available to play until Oct. 5 when the Cowboys host the Texans.
