    Karlos Williams suspended 10 games for marijuana

    Report: Steelers' Karlos Williams suspended 10 games for substance abuse
    Pittsburgh Steelers running back Karlos Williams has been suspended 10 games for violating the NFL's policy for substances of abuse, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.Williams was signed to the Steelers' practice squad in October. He was also suspended for the first four games of the season for another violation of the substance abuse policy.The second-year back had some success as a rookie, scoring seven touchdowns for the Buffalo Bills. He came into training camp overweight and was released by the Bills not long after his initial suspension was announced.Williams hasn't been active for any games this season and may never play in the NFL again after this latest ban.

    Sad to hear but looks like Bills management was wise to let him go when we did.

    Would like to pick up another guy like him to complement Shady. Hope he gets his life turned around.

      Here come the "what an idiot" comments, and I won't disagree.

      But what a waste. I doubt he'll get another chance in the NFL after such a promising start.

      The thing that bothers me is that the guy is only 23 and already has 4 children. He blew his chance at making a better life for them. Can't believe he was busted again so soon.

      Wow...

        That explains why he likes to eat so much.

          Why? We already have Mike Gilislee, who has played well...I think we might have won that that Miami game had we ran him more than like five times. Shame. It's also a shame that Gillislee left practice early with a hamstring injury today, what with McCoy's thumb injury and all.

          There is also Jonathan Williams, who has promise to contribute. Don't forget about him...who can you forget about? Probably Reggie Bush.

            We need ONE of those guys to be healthy.

              Another standup guy drafted by Doug Whaley.

                The 1990s Bills were a mix of sleek athletes and guys that just tried harder. Whaley will never get that. He needs to pay more attention to Kyle Williams play. He's a sneaky mix of both.

                  Can't wait until 2018 when a dozen people here are still talking about signing him.

                    If he can get into game shape, someone will give him a chance late in the year next year when injuries are piling up.

                    I wonder if he will end up going the Josh Gordon route and get a whole year off, he's one violation away.

                      I like Gillie and agree about the Miami game, but a spot guy that runs with real force would be nice. JW hasn't shown anything, IMO. Yeah, Bush can go and might as well take Harvin and Clay with him.

                        Damn, what a waste... When he's in his 30's he'll finally realize what a sweet gig he had making all that money.

                          Can't wait until 2018 and we are still asking when we will get into the play-offs.

                          He's going the route of Travis Henry.

                            Agree. Gillislee is 5'11, 218 (I like him too), Karlos 6'1, 229. Always wanted a bruising straight ahead 'tween the tackles power runner. Then again with concussions everywhere, I'm starting to wonder if it's feasible anymore.
