Davis claims the suspension stems from a supplement he took that contained a banned substance.

"In the past, I made the mistake of knowingly ingesting a banned substance," he said in a statement. "For over two years, I've worked very hard to eliminate marijuana from my life, and I have not had a positive test for it since 2011. Unfortunately, a couple of months ago I took a supplement that contained a banned substance. I now know that supplements are not regulated by the FDA and may contain banned substances.

Davis caught only seven passes last season and was replaced as a starter by rookie Jordan Reed.
