Panthers' Kent Taylor: Suspended four games

Taylor was suspended for the first four games of the NFL season on Friday due to a violation of the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Taylor signed with the Panthers' practice squad in December of last year and ultimately inked a reserve/future contract with the team in January. He was no lock to make the team's final roster prior to the four-game ban, and it remains to be seen if the suspension will further dampen his prospects.
