Wide receiver Antonio Callaway will begin the 2019 season away from the Browns.

On Friday NFL Network reported that the 22-year-old was suspended the first four games of the 2019 season for violation of the league's substance abuse policy. The suspension was not related to a marijuana possession citation from last summer but rather a separate incident.

Shortly after the announcement  Callaway released a statement taking responsibility for his actions and promising to be a better person moving forward. Browns general manager John Dorsey released a statement stating he and head coach Freddie Kitchens were disappointed in Callaway but offering their support.

Callaway fell to the Browns in the fourth round of last year's draft due in part to a diluted test at the Combine. He will be available to play when the Browns face the 49ers in Week 5.
