Vikings defensive end Spencer Nealy was suspended Friday for four games this season for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Nealy is eligible to return after Week 4. He can participate in offseason practices and preseason games.
The 24-year-old is in his second season out of Texas A&M. Nealy joined the Vikings for the final two weeks of the preseason last year before he was cut. He spent six of the final seven weeks of the 2013 regular season on the Vikings practice squad.
