Mark Ingram's appeal of 4-game PED ban previously denied by NFL

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram's appeal of his 4-game PED suspension has already been heard and denied by the National Football League.

What It Means:

The league waited for the appeals process to play out before announcing Ingram's decision on Tuesday. He will miss Weeks 1-4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons, and New York Giants, which should create even more opportunity for Alvin Kamara out of the Saints' backfield.

Ingram averaged 14.2 FanDuel points per game last season while totaling 1,124 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground, in addition to 58 catches (71 targets) for 416 scoreless yards through the air.
