On Thursday ESPN reported that the 29-year-old had been suspended the first two games of the 2019 season for violation of the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs.
Quinn's agent, Sean Kiernan released a statement shortly after the announcement explaining that his client had tested positive for a steroid masking agent at minuscule levels due to a cross contamination at a pharmacy where Quinn gets his seizure medication filled. Despite providing evidence to this fact and the league believing the ingestion was not intentional, the NFL chose to suspend Quinn anyway. Kiernan railed against the league for their decision and for his client's treatment during the process.
Quinn had surgery to repair a broken hand and was set to be sidelined the first two games of the season even before the sentence was handed down.
The veteran defensive lineman will be available to play to play in Week 3 of the regular season against the Dolphins.
