Goodell Hands Down Newest Suspension

June 4, 2007

Espn.com is reporting that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has handed down Tank Johnson’s suspension.  The suspension is to last eight games, during which Tank will be able to reduce the suspension to only six games if he meets certain conditions.  Tank is expected, obviously, to stay out of trouble with the law during the suspension, and is also to undergo counseling. The last stipulation of the possible shortening of his suspension, however, is a bit more interesting.

Johnson can shorten his suspension by two games  if he does not participate in team practices or workouts.  This leaves the Bears and Johnson in a conundrum.  Do they keep Johnson in all the practices and workout sessions, making sure that he is certainly ready to compete at the midpoint of the season?  Or do they keep him away, in an effort to get him back on the field sooner, running the risk that he may not be in playing shape when his suspension is up?  Only time will tell.
