Johnson Suspended by League

Published by hcbb10 at 11:26 pm under NFL Edit This

Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson was suspended by the National Football League on Friday for one week, which means one game.

He has been suspended for violating the NFL’s conduct policy for his behavior regarding an incident with a woman at a bar earlier in the season.

Johnson was also suspended for two games the last couple of weeks by the Chiefs for his conduct regarding that same incident. The game he is missing this week is week two of his suspension from the team and his suspension from the league takes effect next week.

This week the Chiefs are facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will miss next week’s game against the San Diego Chargers.

Johnson has been causing trouble all season long in Kansas City after threatening to hold out with his contract and promising not to report to camp and now the incident with a woman at a bar.

Earlier this week, on Monday, Johnson was indicted for simple assault stemming from the incident and faces a court date on December 4th for the incident.
