The expected starter at outside linebacker for the New Orleans Saints was suspended for the first four games of the regular season on Friday morning.

According to team spokesman Greg Bensel, Sedrick Hodge was suspended without pay after he violated the NFL Substance Abuse Policy.

The exact nature of the violations was not released.

Bensel said Hodge's suspension begins on Sunday, September 5, and he is expected to return after the October 3 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Until that time, Hodge remains eligible to participate in all preseason practices and games.

Hodge was battling James Allen for one of the starting spots at outside linebacker.
