Redskins' Tanard Jackson plans to appeal suspension: 'This is not a repeat of the past'

Geoff Burke-US PRESSWIRE / Reuters

Washington Redskins safety Tanard Jackson is not going to let his career slip away quietly.

Jackson says he will appeal his indefinite suspension for a repeat violation of the NFL's drug policy and suggests this time is different from his 2012 suspension.

Jackson is no stranger to substance abuse policy violations. He was suspended for the first four games of the 2009 season and again in 2010 - this time for an entire calendar year. He was suspended again after joining the Redskins in 2012 and remained ineligible to play until May, when he was reinstated and signed a new deal with Washington.
