FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Kellen Winslow Jr. is ready to get back to work with the New York Jets.
The team received a roster exemption for Winslow, meaning he won't count against the 53-man roster until 4 p.m. next Monday afternoon.
Winslow explained that the substance that triggered the positive test digested in his fat and not in his blood,Cheap Basketball Jerseys, so that means it was something he took orally and not an injection.
Winslow, who was the team's leading receiver before the suspension, says he was a bit disappointed by a decrease in playing opportunities, but is optimistic about being productive after the team returns from the bye next Monday.
Winslow opted to serve the suspension immediately rather than appeal because he wanted to be sure he would be available to the team for the second half of the season.
Winslow said he is still waiting to hear back from the NFL Players Association to find out exactly what the substance was that prompted the positive test.
"There's a lot of things you get frustrated about over the season, and yeah, I was frustrated about my playing time and I want to help my team more," Winslow said. "But that happens, and,Cheap Baseball Jerseys Shirts, there's more games to be played and I'll be utilized and I'll be there. I'll be ready."
One positive for the tight end was that he was able to rest his balky right knee that had kept him out of practices,Wholesale Shoes Clearance Uk.
"So, I think it matches up with that," he said.
Despite the suspension and the NFL cracking down on PEDs,Cheap Jerseys From China, Winslow isn't worried that his reputation might be a bit tarnished by this incident.
