NFL Eases Marijuana and Drug Policy Rules for Players

The NFL and the NFL Players Association have revised the league's substance abuse policy, significantly increasing the THC threshold for a positive test from 150 ng/ml to 350 ng/ml. This change, effective immediately, means players can have more THC in their system without testing positive. Additionally, fines for positive tests and missed tests have been reduced, with penalties for multiple violations also lessened. While the general prohibition on marijuana use remains, these changes mark a step towards decriminalization within the league.

An announcement on the status of outside linebacker David Ojabo, who has been sidelined with ankle/knee injuries, is forthcoming. The Ravens thrive on being frontrunners, having rarely trailed this season. Ravens players, including Pat Ricard and Ronnie Stanley, express frustration over recent fines for unnecessary roughness and plan to appeal.
