LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears linebacker Jerrell Freeman has been suspended without pay for four games for violating the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing substances, the team announced Monday.Freeman is the second high-profile Bears player to be suspended for PEDs in the past week. Former Pro Bowl wide receiver Alshon Jeffery received a four-game suspension for violating the leagues PED policy last Monday, and he is scheduled to miss three more games before he can return.Much like with Alshon, Im very disappointed, Bears coach John Fox said.Freeman, 30, signed a three-year contract worth $6 million guaranteed in the offseason. He is one of the Bears leading tacklers.Fox said the Bears take the suspensions seriously.We dont accept it. I think we put a lot of time and money into governing it and watching over it. Like I said before, while theyre in this building, unfortunately they dont live here, he said.Fox denied that the Bears have a PED problem.I dont think this is unique to the Bears. Its an issue everywhere in the league, he said. Thats why we have drug testing in any professional sport or even Olympic sports. It happens, unfortunately.Freeman, whose suspension begins immediately, is eligible to rejoin the team on Monday, Dec. 19 following the clubs home game versus the Green Bay Packers.Freeman apologized in a statement posted on his Twitter account.Obviously, it puts us in a tough spot, Fox said. Thats why you usually see apologies, is I think they understand that, and its obviously a mistake and one they typically regret.Troy Aikman Womens Jersey .

Dak Prescott Womens Jersey . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over .DETROIT -- By Detroits standards, this was a comfortable, drama-free victory.The Lions beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 26-19 on Sunday , extending a streak in which every Detroit game this season has been decided by seven points or fewer. But the Lions needed no last-ditch passes from Matthew Stafford or long kicks from Matt Prater in this one.Our mindset is not that, `Keep it close and see if we can win. Thats not our mindset, coach Jim Caldwell said. But nevertheless, its just the way its happening, so you have to accept that and find a way to win.Detroit took a 23-19 lead on a 1-yard touchdown run by Eric Ebron with 10:03 remaining. The Lions (6-4) then forced a punt and took possession with 8:19 to play, and they were able to run out almost all the remaining time.You can sit there and say you hope that the defense stops them again and you get the ball back, but as an offense, I dont think you can ever say, `Well get another opportunity, Jacksonville quarterback Blake Bortles said. We knew we had an opportunity up three to go put it away and we didnt do it, so its on us.On fourth-and-2 from the Jacksonville 46, the Lions lined up as if to go and drew defensive lineman SenDerrick Marks offside. The encroachment penalty with 2:34 remaining gave Detroit a new set of downs.Its a heat of the moment, its a physical game and hes trying to make a play for his team, Stafford said. Ive been on the sideline and seen guys on our team do it before. Its a tough situation to be in.The Lions eventually took a seven-point lead on Praters 43-yard field goal with 22 seconds left, and the Jaguars (2-8) didnt come close to challenging in the final seconds.Here are a few things learned from Detroits victory over Jacksonville:ALL-PURPOSE THREAT: Detroits Andre Roberts can impact the game in many ways. Roberts muffed a punt in the first quarter, giving the Jaguars great field position, bbut he was terrific after that.dddddddddddd Roberts returned a punt 55 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, and he caught a 44-yard pass in the third. He also hustled over to throw a nice downfield block on a 61-yard reception by Ebron in the fourth.NEED TO CAPITALIZE: Its not enough just to force turnovers. After five straight games without a takeaway, the Jaguars recovered two Detroit fumbles, but managed only three points off them. That was disappointing for Jacksonville, because the fumble by Roberts gave the Jaguars possession at the Detroit 11.We said, `We need a turnover. We got turnovers. `We want to play with the lead. We got the lead, Jaguars defensive lineman Malik Jackson said. I dont know what to ask for to try to get a better game. These guys are going out here playing hard. Were playing consistent. Weve just got to find it, whatever it is.NO BALANCE: The Lions are still having a hard time establishing the run. They managed only 14 yards on 21 carries against Jacksonville, and that was part of the reason Detroit had only one offensive touchdown.NO GIMMES: Extra points arent freebies. On a day when kickers struggled all around the league, Prater had an extra point blocked and Jacksonvilles Jason Myers missed one wide to the right. That led to the odd-looking final score in a game that could have easily ended up 27-20.Myers did make a 52-yard field goal in the third quarter.SHOWDOWN: Thanksgiving in Detroit should be even bigger than usual. The Lions and Minnesota remain tied for first in the NFC North, and theyll play at Ford Field on Thursday.Jacksonville visits Buffalo on Sunday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister ' ' '
