Analysis:

The DoPS also announced that Torres waived his right to an in-person hearing. An in-person hearing is only offered when a suspension may be in excess of five games, so Torres could miss significant time to start the season -- an unfortunate turn of events after he played just 12 games over the last two seasons due to injury.
