Browner banned

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner has been suspended indefinitely for violating the National Football League’s substance abuse policy, the NFL said on Wednesday. The 29-year-old’s suspension begins immediately, it said in a statement. According to a source, Browner turned down a deal that would have “significantly reduced” his initial one-year suspension. A Pro Bowl selection in 2011, Browner had argued that he missed drug tests while not competing in the NFL, though that appeal was denied because the league had notified him of those tests in writing. Browner was also suspended for four games last season for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drugs policy.
