Josh Allen will have to face reality and see how two of his teammates will not be able to debut in the 2025 season with him, as it was recently announced that they will not be available for the first six weeks with the Buffalo Bills due to PED suspensions.
According to the Billsā GM Brandon Beane, two new players on the team will be unable to play due to PED suspensions, with the players in question being DE Michael Hoecht and DT Larry Ogunjobi who have been with the franchise for less than a week.
Apparently, the franchise already knew that Hoecht was about to receive that type of suspension, but they were not aware before signing Ogunjobi that he was also going to receive the same number of NFL games for the same reason. It should be noted that he was with the Steelers last year.
Beane acknowledged that if they had known Ogunjobi would encounter the same issue as Hoecht, they would not have signed him as well. Nevertheless, he stated that the Bills will have to move forward and make the necessary adjustments based on the circumstances.
Larry Ogunjobi, former Pittsburgh Steelers
Larry Ogunjobi spoke about the suspension, offering apologies.
Ogunjobiās response was as candid as he could be about the PED suspension, stating, āI donāt know what it was, I think it was a tainted supplement.ā Despite the issue, he takes full responsibility and clarified that he learned about the suspension at the same time he signed the contract with the Bills.

Additionally, he also played in the 2021 season with the Bengals and was with the Browns from 2017 to 2020.
