Former Atlanta Falcons cornerback Jalen Collins has been suspended for the first 10 games of the 2018 NFL season, according to a report by ESPN’s Field Yates.

The report didn’t specify the reason for Collins’ fourth suspension by the NFL in his three years in the League.

A second-round draft pick by the Falcons in 2015, Collins was waived by the Falcons shortly after serving his 10-game suspension for a PED violation in 2016. The former LSU standout also was suspended for the first four games of the 2016.

“(Cornerback) Jalen Collins, a 2015 second round pick of the Falcons, has been suspended for the first 10 games of the 2018 season,” Yates wrote on Twitter Monday.

Collins responded to the report on Twitter Monday evening writing, “ To all y’all out there! Believers or NOT! I will be back.”
