The NFL has suspended Seahawks cornerback Walter Thurmond for four games for allegedly violating the league’s substance abuse policy, according to reports, and plans not to appeal so that he can return in time for the playoffs.
First reported by the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the news comes as a big blow to the Seahawks, who are already without cornerback Brandon Browner for several more weeks. Thurmond, who generally plays nickel cornerback, has been filling in for Browner while Browner sits out with a groin injury he suffered in Atlanta.
According to NFL.com, Thurmond was suspended for using a banned substance that is not performance-enhancing. Thurmond had planned to appeal the suspension, Rapoport said, but will drop the appeal so that he is available after four weeks off. Seattle has five games remaining in its regular season.

I'm demanding that the Commissioner Goddell starts a throro investigation of this organization.
