INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NFL suspended Indianapolis Colts starting defensive tackle Grover Stewart six games without pay Tuesday for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancers.While league officials didn’t disclose details about the violation, it did say Stewart could return to Indy’s active roster Dec. 4.Stewart has been a key part of Indy’s run defense since reshaping his body after being a 2017 fourth-round draft pick out of Albany State in Georgia.
