Three-game suspension to Bills RB Lynch will stand

NFL announced on Monday that Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch’s appeal was denied and the three-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy will stand.

Lynch’s suspension begins on Sept. 5 and ends on Sept. 28. That means he will not be able to take part in the Bills third regular-season game against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 27. Bills head coach Dick Jauron felt disapointed with the suspension because Lynch is a "real good football player" who rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his two seasons with the Bills. But Jauron also hopes Lynch will learn from the suspension.

Lynch was suspended because of an arrest in Culver City, Calif., on Feb. 11 when police found an unliscenced handgun in the car Lynch was in. He was sentenced to 80 hours of community service and three years probation. However, Lynch will still be allowed to wear nfl jerseys and participate in all preseason practices and games before Sept. 5.Write For Pay
