BEREA, Ohio - Browns offensive tackle Ryan Tucker was suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL's steroid policy.

Tucker missed part of last season with what the team called a "mental disorder." He is eligible to return to the roster Oct. 1.

Tucker will be allowed to stay with the Browns during training camp and preseason. However, coach Romeo Crennel said Friday the 32-year-old player will not be permitted to participate in team activities once the suspension without pay starts Sept. 1.

Tucker has made 62 starts with the Browns since joining them as a free agent in 2002.
