According to Nicki Jhabvala of the Denver Post, Broncos safety Shiloh Keo has been suspended two games by the NFL for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy.
While Keo played limited snaps for the Denver Broncos last season, his name may sound familiar. He was the player the Broncos signed mid-season after he reached out to defensive coordinator Wade Phillips on twitter.
Keo’s punishment stems from a February 13 arrest in Idaho for driving under the influence. TMZ obtained video of the arrest, where Keo denied any wrongdoing. He later plead guilty to a misdemeanor DUI, was given one-year probation and had his license suspended.
With the selection of two safeties in the NFL draft, though, Keo’s loss won’t be as harmful, but a looming Aqib Talib suspension could have the Broncos secondary looking thin to start the season.
