Yet another member of the Buffalo Bills might have to sit out four games this season. ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson failed a drug test and is currently appealing a league-mandated four-game ban.
Bills' OT Seantrel Henderson is facing a four-game suspension for violating substance abuse policy, per NFL source. Under appeal.

Remember, the recently released Karlos Williams was suspended four games earlier this summer. That came on the heels of star defensive tackle Marcell Dareus also receiving a four-game ban from the NFL.
Though, Henderson’s suspension promises to raise some eyebrows around the football world.
Bills' OT Seantrel Henderson's pending substance-abuse suspension is related to a treatment he received for his Crohn's disease.

Even before we know the facts, this will likely draw the ire of those who have an issue with the NFL’s drug policy.
If Henderson’s positive test is in fact in relation to treatment he received for Crohn’s Disease, it will obviously lead to a rather interesting appeals process.
Henderson, a seventh-round pick of the Bills back in 2014, has started 26 games in his first two NFL seasons.
He dropped from a potential first-round pick to the bottom of the draft due to concerns with off-field issues while in college at Miami (F). Henderson has previously admitted to smoking marijuana.
