Colts' Antonio Garcia: Suspended four games
Garcia was suspended for the first four games of the season after violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Garcia was a third-round pick of the Patriots back in 2017 but has struggled to find his way onto a team throughout his career. He spent the second half of last season on the Colts' practice squad. Garcia would count as one of the final 53 roster spots should the Colts decide to keep him on to begin the regular season.

Patriots' Antonio Garcia: Cleared to play
Garcia, who was forced to sit out his rookie season due to blood clots in his lungs, has been medically cleared to play, NESN.com reports.
Selected in the third round of the 2017 NFL draft, Garcia was tabbed to provide depth behind then starting left tackle Nate Solder. Now that Solder has departed via free agency, the return of Garcia gives the Patriots a player to groom as a potential starter at a key position on their offensive line. Garcia's health issues last year led to him losing about 40 pounds, but once he bulks back up and rebuilds his strength, the 24-year-old will look to secure a key role with the team.

While he's expected to eventually return to the team and compete for a role, he remains without a defined timetable for that return.
