PHILADELPHIA � The NFL has suspended Eagles cornerback Joselio Hanson four games for violating the league�s ban on performance enhancing substances.

The league announced Hanson�s suspension Wednesday. He will be eligible to return for Philadelphia�s Dec. 13 game against the New York Giants.
Hanson�s attorney, David Cornwell, says his client was suspended after testing positive for a diuretic before last year�s NFC Championship Game against Arizona.
Cornwell says Hanson felt bloated after eating and took a pill that �turned out to be a diuretic.�
Cornwell says Hanson appealed but was notified on Tuesday that his suspension will stand.
Hanson has 29 tackles and one interception this season.
