Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict's three-game suspension was upheld by appeals officer Derrick Brooks, a source tells ESPN's Dan Graziano.
Burfict was given the suspension to start the 2016 season for a hit to the head of Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown last month in the wild-card round. Burfict received an unnecessary roughness penalty on the play that resulted in a concussion for Brown.
