PITTSBURGH (AP) -The Pittsburgh Steelers might not know until late in training camp whether quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s suspension will be reduced from six to four games by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Goodell plans to visit the Steelers’ camp on Aug. 5, but the stop is not specifically related to Roethlisberger’s suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
Steelers president Art Rooney II doesn’t know when Goodell might make a final determination about Roethlisberger, but he believes it won’t be early in camp.
Roethlisberger was suspended April 21 after being accused of sexually assaulting a Georgia college student, although he was not charged. Goodell said the suspension could be reduced by two games if Roethlisberger has no more behavioral issues and did all that was asked by the league.
