Wes Welker Broncos suspended four games

Receiver Wes Welker has been suspended four games for a violation of the policy of performance-enhancing drugs in the NFL after testing positive for a banned amphetamine, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA Today Sports.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the NFL has not announced the suspension. The Broncos were not informed of the suspension on Tuesday afternoon, while coaches were deep in planning mode for the game opener Sunday against Indianapolis.
