Tom Brady may have had his Deflategate suspension reversed in federal court, but 38 other players make up a "starting lineup" of banned NFL stars heading into the 2015 season.
ESPN reporter Field Yates composed a comprehensive lineup on Twitter of 38 players that will begin the 2015 slate serving suspensions as the league has cracked down on those that have violated its conduct policy. Though the quarterback position is now vacant of suspensions due to Brady winning his Deflategate appeal, all the other positions have plenty of representation.

The offensive line is headlined by free agent left tackle Eben Britton (four games, unknown), Jets left guard Oday Aboushi (one game, substance abuse), Browns center Ryan Seymour (four games, PEDs), Cowboys right guard R.J. Dill (four games, PEDs) and Cardinals right tackle Bobby Massie (three games, substance abuse).
At receiver, Josh Gordon of the Browns (one year, substance abuse) and Martavis Bryant of the Steelers (four games, substance abuse) are penalized while at tight end, the Chargers' Antonio Gates (four games, PEDs) is also out to start the year. Running backs Le'Veon Bell (two games, substance abuse) of the Steelers and LeGarrette Blount (one game, substance abuse) of Brady's Patriots must also sit out.

On the defensive side of the ball, things continue as Greg Hardy, Sheldon Richardson, Marcell Dareus, Datone Jones, Dion Jordan, Victor Butler, Rolando McClain, Sean Smith, Jarrett Bush, LaRon Landry and Jabari Price all in the NFL's doghouse to start the year.
Roger Goodell may not have got his man with the Brady Deflategate case, but 38 others have felt the wrath of the league.
