WESTMINSTER, Md. (AP) -NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is doing more than he was asked to do by the league when given a six-game suspension after being accused of sexual assault.
Goodell says he will meet with Roethlisberger before the regular season starts in September and determine whether to reduce the punishment to four games.
During a visit to the Baltimore Ravens training camp Wednesday, Goodell said: “He is doing what he’s been asked to do – and frankly more.”
Goodell added that Roethlisberger “understands the seriousness of this and the fact he has to change the way he’s doing things. I’m encouraged by that.”
Goodell is scheduled to visit Steelers camp Thursday and plans to meet with Roethlisberger.
