The NFL has suspended rookie wide receiver Brock Rechsteiner for the first six games of the season, per Ari Meirov.
Rechsteiner, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner, signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent in May. Rechsteiner played three years at Jacksonville State, where he logged 629 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns.

Rechsteiner’s suspension is unfortunate for the rookie wideout, as the wide receiver room is quite crowded, and there was already a slim spot for him. With standout performances from Barion Brown in training camp and now his suspension, Rechsteiner will have a hard time making the roster.
