MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The National Football League has suspended
Minnesota Vikings left tackle Bryant McKinnie without pay for the
team's first four regular-season games for violating the league's
personal conduct policy.
The NFL says McKinnie's suspension begins on August 30th. He is
eligible to return to the Vikings' active roster on Monday,
September 29th, following the team's September 28th game against
the Tennessee Titans.
McKinnie has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from a
street brawl outside a Miami nightclub in February.
The Vikings had no comment, Jeff Anderson, the team's manager of
public affairs, said. Telephone messages left by The Associated
Press for McKinnie's attorney, Larry Kerr, and agent, Ben Dogra,
late Friday afternoon at the start of the Labor Day weekend were
not immediately returned.
McKinnie has been the Vikings' starting left tackle for the last
87 games, dating to the middle of his rookie season.
