The official word on the suspension of Chiefs DT Mike Pennel came down from the league office today.
Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo let it slip early last week that Pennel was facing a suspension, but the team had no further comment on that until the suspension had been officially announced by the league.
Now, according to a number of reports, Pennel has been suspended for the first two games to start the season.
He’ll miss games against the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers, returning to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3.
There’s still no word on exactly why Pennel has been suspended. Look for second-year DT Khalen Saunders to have a bigger role in the defensive line rotation as a result
