Pennel serving a second suspension

Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Mike Pennel will serve another four-game suspension for violation of the NFL’s substance abuse policy.  Pennel will be eligible to return for any postseason games.

It’s Pennel’s second four-game suspension this season, violating the league’s substance abuse policy for a second time.  He also missed the first four games of the season.

Pennel resolved a lawsuit that he filed in Ohio federal court earlier this week.  Pennel could have been suspended six to 10 games for a second violation.

The Packers say they won’t comment any further on Tuesday’s announcement.

Pennel has just five tackles in eight games but did have a tackle for loss against the Houston Texans on Sunday.  His departure likely means more snaps for rookie Dean Lowery who had his best game last Sunday.
