Antonio Brown Suspended for Eight Games for Violating NFL's Personal Conduct Policy

Free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown has received an eight-game suspension for multiple violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy.

Brown may sign with any team in free agency and would be eligible to participate in a club's preseason activities. His suspension would go into effect on Sept. 5, and he could return after a team's eighth game.

The suspension comes after a moving truck battery case earlier this year involving Brown. In June, Brown pled no contest to charges related to the case after changing his plea from not guilty. In the alleged incident, Brown was accused of refusing to pay a $4,000 moving fee for a company that was delivering his items to Florida from his California home.
