Broncos | Sauerbrun filing paperwork for appeal

Len Pasquarelli, of ESPN.com, reports Denver Broncos P Todd Sauerbrun has apprised team management that he will appeal his pending four-game suspension for an alleged violation of the NFL's banned substances policy and is in the process of filing the pertinent paperwork with league officials. Because the NFL does not officially announce suspensions until after an appeal has been decided, league officials have, citing confidentiality guidelines, steadfastly declined to comment on the Sauerbrun case, there is no way of knowing how many appeals have been successful. Given the timeframes established by the steroid policy, it appears there is more than sufficient time for the Sauerbrun appeal to be resolved well in advance of the start of the regular season. The Broncos open the season at St. Louis Sept. 10.
