Minnesota Vikings linebacker E.J. Henderson is out for the remainder of the season and maybe into next year after suffering a gruesome broken femur two weeks ago at Arizona.

Now, his brother Erin Henderson, a reserve linebacker for the Vikings, will miss the next four games after he was suspended by the NFL for violation of the league’s policy on anabolic steroids and related substances.

The team announced this afternoon that Erin Henderson would immediately begin serving a suspension that will keep him out of the final three regular-season games and the first playoff game for the postseason-bound Vikings.
