Texans DE Denico Autry suspended 6 games for PEDs

Denico Autry

Houston Texans defensive end Denico Autry has been suspended six games for violating the NFL’s policy against the use of performance enhancing drugs.

Autry, 34, who signed a two-year deal worth $20 million with the Texans in March, released a statement asserting that he took a medication that, unbeknownst to him, contained a banned substance.

“It was important to me that the NFL know that I did not intentionally or even knowingly ingest a banned substance. I understand, however, that under the NFL’s policies, ultimate responsibility for what enters my body rests with me,” he wrote.

“To that end, while I intend to explore legal options … I have accepted the NFL’s punishment of a six-game suspension.”

Autry had a career-best 11.5 sacks last season for the Tennessee Titans and also had a career high 50 tackles in 17 games (14 starts). In 142 games (89 starts) over 10 seasons with the Oakland Raiders (2014-17), Indianapolis Colts (2018-20) and Titans, he has 59 sacks and 310 tackles.

Autry was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Raiders in 2014.
