Dolphins | Laremy Tunsil may enter NFL drug program
Miami Dolphins OT Laremy Tunsil could be placed in the NFL drug program, but he faces no discipline from the leaked video that surfaced on draft day because he’s not in the program right now. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Tunsil’s entry into the program ‘is up to the medical clinicians.’ Tunsil has not failed any drug tests in his two years at Ole Miss, but the video of him smoking from a bong would still merit potential reference into the program. As the policy notes, subsequent violations, once a player is in in the program, will result in a two-game fine, a four-game fine, a four-game suspension, a 10-game suspension and one-year banishment.
