Reports out of Berea say Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden failed a drug test and could face possible discipline from the NFL.

News Channel 5's Andy Baskin confirmed through numerous sources that Haden tested positive for a drug. It's a possibility he could have tested positive for Adderall, which is used to treat attention deficit disorder and chronic fatigue.

The medication is banned by the league. This is Haden's first positive test during his three years in the NFL.

There will be a second test given and if it comes back positive again, Haden could face up to a four-game suspension. He can appeal if his second test turns up positive and is disciplined by the league.

The Browns, the NFL, and Haden's agent Drew Rosenhaus did not comment on the reports.
