New Orleans Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro is reportedly facing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL drug policy for use of Adderall, sources tell NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vaccaro, 25, is the team’s second-leading tackler this season with 44 stops. He also ranks second on the team in defensive snaps this season with 395, according to Football Outsiders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rapoport added<\/a> that Vaccaro is still awaiting final word from the NFL of a potential ban and can play Sunday against the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n

A first-round pick in 2013 out of Texas, Vaccaro typically lines up in the slot or at strong safety for the Saints. Rookie Vonn Bell will likely replace Vaccaro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
