Broncos kicker Matt Prater has been notified by the NFL he will be suspended through the first four games of the season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.

The violation was alcohol-related. Prater has been in the league's alcohol program since soon after he was charged with driving under the influence Aug. 12, 2011.

The four-game suspension, which is expected to be announced Monday, was part of an agreement reached between Prater's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, and the league, so an appeal is not expected. The NFL had initially threatened a one-year suspension.

Any wonder he's been looking **** lately.

Well, that explains why they've been giving Ewald so much time.

[pricejj]

Told you Prater is a POS. Too bad Ewald sucks.

[SonOfLe-loLang]

Is there anyone better than Ewald out there? He kinda blows.

Ewald won't be the kicker we'll pick up someone after cuts are made elsewhere.

Seattle's kicker used to be ours.

I was thinking the same thing. I guess he was just following protocol from some of the front office guys.

Idiot kicker is an idiot. He looks crappy and fat this preseason. Looks like he's been drinking a lot.

[Requiem]

We got drunks all over this franchise.
