The NFL has suspended Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata for the rest of the regular season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.  Ngata is eligible to return for the playoffs if the Ravens make the postseason.

"I made a mistake, and I own this," Ngata said in a statement. "I took Adderall and take full responsibility for doing this. I am deeply sorry and broken up over this. I let down my family, my teammates, Ravens fans and myself. My hope is that the Ravens make the playoffs, and I believe they can do this. And, then I can come back and help us win."

Ngata is eligible to return on Monday, Dec. 29
