In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves through the NFL, New York Jets standout cornerback Sauce Gardner has been suspended indefinitely after reportedly testing positive for a banned substance, league sources confirmed Saturday morning.
Details surrounding the nature of the substance have not yet been officially released, but the NFL’s disciplinary action signals a serious violation of the league’s policy. Gardner, 24, has been a cornerstone of the Jets’ defense and was widely regarded as one of the top young defensive talents in the league.
The Jets organization has yet to issue a formal statement, but team insiders say head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas were informed late Friday evening.
Gardner, who was named Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2022, had not missed a game due to disciplinary reasons until now. The suspension could significantly impact the Jets’ 2025 season outlook, especially with expectations high following recent roster additions and offseason moves.
