Source (CBSSports.com) (RB - kc) | 0 comments.

News: Chiefs running back Larry Johnson was suspended for Week 10 of the NFL season by commissioner Roger Goodell for violating the league's personal conduct policy. Johnson already was deactivated the last two weeks by Kansas City and also won't play this Sunday against Tampa Bay. He will miss the Chiefs' game at San Diego next weekend under the NFL's suspension. Johnson is not permitted on the team's premises until Nov. 10. The suspension will cost him about $147,000, or one game check. "We respect the decision of commissioner Goodell," said Carl Peterson, president of the Kansas City Chiefs. "The NFL player conduct policy sets forth a set of standards that all NFL players, coaches and staff members must abide by. Upon the completion of his suspension we sincerely hope that Larry will be ready to return to the field for the Chiefs determined to make a positive contribution to our team and, with the assistance of the people around him, turn his life around."

The league has not yet ruled on a suspension, but Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said nothing Tuesday to indicate that Johnson would return to the lineup Sunday against Tampa Bay. Other than that, Edwards said all he could do was wait and see — like everyone else — what happens to Johnson. "They'll do what's right for the league," he said. "That's what they always do. Whatever the commissioner decides to do, we'll stand behind him 100 percent. I know this organization does. He'll do what's right. It will all work out, whatever they decide." NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said late Tuesday afternoon that the league had no announcement regarding Johnson's situation and that there was no timetable for any such announcement. [...]

Johnson, already facing possible suspension by the NFL, was charged Monday with simple assault for spitting his drink in a woman's face. Several hours later, the Kansas City Chiefs indicated the two-time Pro Bowl running back would not play for the foreseeable future. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that Johnson would meet with league officials in New York on Tuesday.

Johnson also faces a Dec. 4 court date for another incident that occurred last February when he allegedly pushed a woman's face in another Kansas City nightspot. This most recent alleged incident at a Kansas City nightspot on Oct. 10, marks the fourth time in five years Johnson has been accused of assaulting a woman.

It's the second such charge the former Pro Bowler is facing. Johnson turned himself in and was released after posting a $500 bond.
