The NFL has made it official – Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall has been suspended for three games for violation of the league’s Personal Conduct Policy. As previously reported, Marshall can agree to undergo counseling and lessen his suspension to two games.
No clue why it took nearly 48 hours from Adam Schefter‘s report stating EXACTLY THIS to the official announcement today. You all know how I feel, so I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments.
(Thanks to everyone for the tips via email and comments… NFL statement after the jump)
Statement by an NFL spokesperson:
Brandon Marshall of the Denver Broncos has been suspended without pay for the team’s first three regular-season games of 2008 for violating the NFL Personal Conduct Policy. If Marshall fully complies with required counseling and other conditions of the suspension, Commissioner Goodell will consider reducing the suspension to two games.
Subject to a potential appeal, Marshall’s three-game suspension would begin on Saturday, August 30 and he would be eligible to return to the Broncos’ active roster on Monday, September 22 following the team’s September 21 game against the New Orleans Saints.
Marshall is eligible to participate in all preseason practices and games.
