NEW YORK (AP) -Chiefs running back Larry Johnson was suspended for Week 10 of the NFL season by commissioner Roger Goodell for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
Johnson already was deactivated the last two weeks by Kansas City and also won’t play this Sunday against Tampa Bay. He will miss the Chiefs’ game at San Diego next weekend under the NFL’s suspension.
Johnson is not permitted on the team’s premises until Nov. 10.
“We respect the decision of commissioner Goodell,” said Carl Peterson, president of the Kansas City Chiefs. “The NFL player conduct policy sets forth a set of standards that all NFL players, coaches and staff members must abide by. Upon the completion of his suspension we sincerely hope that Larry will be ready to return to the field for the Chiefs determined to make a positive contribution to our team and, with the assistance of the people around him, turn his life around.”
