Medicinal, recreational or one of his buddies accidentally dropped it in the car, it was a dumb move on his part. In Sept he was, at best, 7th on the depth chart. He had no room to make any mistakes at all. Playing his butt on still might not have given his a slot on the PS.
On a broader scope with more and more states softening their perception of the weed, it will be interesting to see how future CBAs are shaped. Will NFL Inc allow players to use it as an effective pain killer? Will the players have to have some kind of acknowledgement from the team's medical staff? Will it take 5 years or 10 years or more before the powers that be relent? Could this be the leverage the NFL is looking for to add 2 more regular season games?
