Carolina Panthers cornerback Rashard Anderson has not been reinstated by the NFL because he tested positive again in a May drug test, a source close to the process said Wednesday.
Now, the source said, Anderson's status is not expected to be re-evaluated by the league until December, making it certain he will not play for the Panthers this season.
Anderson missed all of the 2002 season after being suspended in May of that year for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
"The decision on Rashard's being reinstated now rests in the hands of the commissioner," said Anderson's agent, Ben Wilson. "It's frustrating, but it's going to be awhile now."
