Pittsburgh Steelers tackle Marcus Gilbert (77) during a game against the Cleveland Browns at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' clicking offense will be without one of its starters for a month.

Right tackle Marcus Gilbert was suspended four games Monday for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, the team announced.

Gilbert will not appeal the ban.

He will miss games against the Green Bay Packers, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots. He is eligible to return in the penultimate game of the regular season against the Houston Texans on Christmas.

The Steelers scored a season-high 40 points in last Thursday's win over the Tennessee Titans.
