Ngata, a five-time Pro Bowler, will be eligible to return to
the Ravens’ active roster following the team’s final regular
season game against the Cleveland Browns on Dec. 28.
"I made a mistake, and I own this," Ngata said in a statement.
"I took Adderall and take full responsibility for doing this. I
am deeply sorry and broken up over this."
Adderall is used for the treatment of attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) but is banned by the NFL.
The Ravens are 7-5 this season and in the hunt for a playoff
spot.
"This is disappointing news for the Ravens," said the team's
general manager and executive vice president Ozzie Newsome. "We
are disappointed with Haloti, but no more than he is with
himself."
