Le’Veon Bell has suspension reduced to three games
Star running back Le’Veon Bell was facing a four-game suspension at the start of this season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. On Friday, it was reported that Bell’s suspension had been reduced to three games as a result of a settlement between the NFL and NFL Players Association. Bell, who was suspended two games in 2015 for the same thing, will miss games against Washington, Cincinnati and Philadelphia before returning against Kansas City.
James Harrison agrees to NFL PED interview
Veteran linebacker James Harrison agreed to be interviewed by the NFL regarding allegations in a report by Al Jazeera America that he and other NFL players obtained performance-enhancing drugs.
