MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A judge has blocked NFL plans to suspend Minnesota Vikings players Kevin Williams and Pat Williams.
Hennepin County District Judge Gary Larson on Thursday granted the players' motion for a temporary restraining order. That keeps the NFL from suspending them until their case is decided.
That may be a while. The judge also scheduled a hearing for July 22 on whether he should put state court proceedings on hold while a federal appeals court considers other issues in the case.
The defensive tackles tested positive last summer for a banned diuretic that can mask the presence of steroids, though they've never been accused of taking steroids.
The NFL had intended to enforce the Williamses' four-game suspensions at the start of the upcoming season.
