EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress says defensive end Ray Edwards has been suspended four games for violating the NFL's policy on steroid use.

Edwards has been a starter for most of the season, but was replaced by Erasmus James for last Sunday's game against Detroit.
Childress says that decision had nothing to do with Edwards' alleged violation.
But the coach says he was disappointed in Edwards and could not comment further because of the confidentiality surrounding the policy.
The Vikings will turn to James, rookie Brian Robison and Jayme Mitchell to fill in during Edwards' absence.
Edwards is in his second year out of Purdue. The fourth-round draft pick has been one of the Vikings' consistent performers at defensive end.
