Anderson was suspended for six games Saturday for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

If Anderson makes the team, the linebacker will not be eligible to return to the active roster until Oct. 18. The 2017 second-round pick has been competing for a depth role for the Giants' defense; however. Anderson's suspension will likely be a factor when the team must make final cuts ahead of the regular season.
