His doctor said it's likely due to dehydration following the acl surgery.

Mettenberger’s physical therapist, Jason Eliowitz, attributes the positive test to efforts to combat dehydration. Eliowitz explains in the letter to Dr. Lawrence Brown that Mettenberger “was experiencing frequent muscle cramping during the day as well as at night while trying to sleep.” Thus, Mettenberger was advised to drink “as much as 1 to 1.5 gallons of of water per day, to increase his consumption of foods high in potassium, and to increase his sodium intake.”


So he had to much water in his urine sample.

Drinking a shite ton of water is an old trick to try and avoid a positive drug test. I'm sure they'll just test him again and he'll pass. Solid click bait by PFT, as always.

Yeah. It's a non-story unless he refuses another test.

IF true, it is actually a big deal. In the NFL eyes, a diluted urine sample is the same thing as a failed drug test. It is the same thing that got Von Miller suspended last year.

Dehydration would make your urine more concentrated.

ETA: Oh, he's saying it was due to treatment of dehydration. Got it.
