| 1st December, 2007 - 10:34 am |  ESPN - The Denver Broncos are still awaiting the NFL's decision on whether tailback Travis Henry will have to spend a year out of football over a failed drug test in September.
Coach Mike Shanahan said he hadn't heard anything Friday and didn't want to speculate about whether he'd receive a ruling by day's end, as several reports had suggested.
"I really don't know. There's been rumors," Shanahan said. "I haven't heard anything. It's just speculation."
The Broncos were hopeful that a ruling on Friday would be good news. The league likes to mete out punishment before the work week begins in earnest on Wednesday to avoid a competitive disadvantage by removing a player who has been a part of pregame preparations.
Because the failed drug test occurred while Henry was still under the two-year probationary period after serving a four-game drug-related suspension while with the Tennessee Titans in 2005, he is subject to a one-year suspension this time. [READ] |
