Kareem Hunt, the former Kansas City Chiefs star running back who was captured on video pushing and kicking a woman, was suspended without pay for the first eight games of the regular season by the N.F.L. on Friday.

Hunt, who joined the Cleveland Browns in February, will not appeal the suspension, his agent said.

The N.F.L. said in a statement that the suspension came in connection with “physical altercations at his residence in Cleveland last February and at a resort in Ohio last June.” The N.F.L. said it conducted interviews with Hunt and others and reviewed law enforcement records in coming to its decision.
