With Suspensions you are not allowed to practice or train with the team.

Holmes has not been with the team since the end of his last preseason game.

The Vikes will eventually get Vincent Jackson. They have too. They don't have a choice or alternative.


True, but Holmes had all pre-season w/ Jets....I'll take Holmes for now. If/when Jackson signs somewhere, you will be able to evaluate.

New York Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes isn't banned from the team's headquarters while he serves a four-game suspension for violating the NFL substance-abuse policy.

Holmes is allowed to work out at the Jets' training complex and can attend team meetings, but isn't allowed to participate in practice sessions.

Jets coach Rex Ryan had said that Holmes wasn't allowed to have contact with coaches and was of the belief that Holmes would have to use Skype to talk with quarterback Mark Sanchez.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the New York Post that's not the case, though, for players serving under a year's suspension for violating the league's drug policy.

However, players who violate the steroid policy or the personal conduct policy such as the Pittsburgh Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger aren't allowed to go to the team facility or have contact with the team during their suspensions.
