Los Angeles Rams WR Mike Thomas admits he 'knew (suspension) was coming'

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Second-year Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Mike Thomas, who was served a four-game suspension by the NFL for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances, returned to practice after missing the first nine days with a foot injury.

Thomas spoke for the first time about the suspension -- which he will serve to begin the regular season -- and said he had an inkling it was looming.

"I kind of knew it was coming," Thomas said. "I just knew it was coming, so I just had to take full responsibility for it and learn from my mistakes and move forward from it."

That was pretty much the extent of him talking about the suspension.

"I don't want to talk about it, because it's in the past already," Thomas said. "I just have to watch what I take and be more responsible and more observant and just learn from it."
