The N.F.L. on Friday suspended wide receiver Antonio Brown for eight regular season games this season for his role in a January dispute with a moving company employee, for which he pleaded no contest to burglary and battery charges and received two years probation. The suspension also penalizes Brown for sending threatening texts to a woman who accused him of sexual misconduct. The suspension was first reported by the Washington Post and confirmed in a statement released by the league.
