On Wednesday ESPN reported that 28-year-old had been suspended the first four games of the 2019 season for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing drugs.
The loss of Copeland first four games is a blow to the team's defense who lost linebacker Avery Williamson for the season with a torn ACL.
Copeland played in all 16 games for the Jets last season. In his six year NFL career the veteran defender has amassed 65 tackles, 5.5 sacks and one forced fumble.
Copeland will be available to practice and play for the remainder of the preseason but with the Jets on bye week in Week 4, he won't' be available to hit the field in the regular season until Week 6 against the Cowboys.
