Broncos WR Henderson suspended one game for substance abuse

Denver Broncos receiver Carlos Henderson, who has yet to report for training camp, was suspended one game for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, the league announced Wednesday.

Henderson, 23, was arrested in Louisiana in January on a marijuana possession charge.

A 2017 third-round pick out of Louisiana Tech, Henderson spent his rookie season on injured reserve with a thumb injury and then did not report for the start of training camp this season.

Head coach Vance Joseph told reporters Henderson is dealing with a personal issue and must decide "if he wants to continue to play football." Various teammates including wideout Emmanuel Sanders have said they've reached out to Henderson, but there is no indication his absence will end anytime soon.

Henderson tied for the FBS lead in touchdown receptions with 19 in his final year at Louisiana Tech, but he has spent the majority of his Broncos tenure working with the third team in practice. He had one catch for seven yards in his only preseason appearance as a rookie.
