Beanie Bishop Suspended 3 Games, Saints Face Uncertainty

0:00It's March 17. Here's your NFL news in two minutes. Subscribe to stay locked in all season. Beanie Bishop, the cornerback who recently joined the New Orleans Saints, just got hit with a three-game suspension to open the upcoming season. The news came from NFL Insiders this week, and it stems from a violation of the league's substance abuse policy. He can still join all the offseason activities, training camp, and preseason games without any problems. The band only starts once the regular season begins, so if he earns a spot on the final roster, he'll sit out those first three matchups. This comes at a tough time for Bishop, who's already fighting for a roster position. Being on the bubble makes missing early games a real setback for proving his value right away. The 26-year-old went undrafted out of West Virginia after the 2024 draft and signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his rookie year, he played all 17 games, racking up 45 tackles, seven passes defended, and four interceptions before bouncing.

1:00Between the roster and practice squad, the Saints like him as a possible slot corner option, but this suspension adds uncertainty. They'll have plenty of time to check him out in camp and decide if he's in their long-term plans once he's back. This episode is proudly sponsored by our partner. Head in, sound on, lights out.
