(FootballStL) -- Jo-Lonn Dunbar became one of the Rams defensive anchors last season. A unit that was looking to improve on an NFL high in sacks from a year ago, will not have Dunbar for the first four games- after his suspension for violating the league's policy against performance enhancing substances.

How will Dunbar's absence affect the Rams defense this year?

Dunbar plays a tough and intimidating style, that gives the Rams defense some bite. It was Dunbar's vicious hit on San Francisco's Alex Smith last season that put the quarterback out with a concussion. Smith's injury allowed Colin Kaepernick to guide the 49ers to the Super Bowl.

He plays strong side linebacker. Dunbar's possible replacement , Will Witherspoon, has spent most of his career on the weakside. Dunbar was durable, while playing in all 16 regular season games. The Rams are losing a starting player at a position where the team lacks significant depth.

He was very productive for the Rams last season, after piling up 113 tackles, including a team high 16 for a loss. Dunbar had 12 hits on opposing quarterbacks, 2 interceptions while playing in 98 percent of the Rams defensive snaps.

Dunbar will miss the follow games this season:
Cardinals
Falcons
Cowboys
49ers

He is eligible to return on Friday September 27th.

Still begs the question, what DID he take.. May never know.
Anyone have any clue of the list of banned substances?

It's pretty expansive.

The truth? He probably took a PED knowingly. The majority of these guys do. Can't blame them though.

Seems like he's really regretting it. I hope he bounces back, man. I like JLD.
