The NFL suspended Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt for eight games Friday for two "physical altercations," one in which Hunt shoved and kicked a woman in a hotel hallway while he played for Kansas City.
Hunt will not be eligible to play until November as part of his penalty for violating the league's personal-conduct policy. The 23-year-old, who quickly became a star player with the Chiefs before his conduct prompted the team to cut him during a Super Bowl push last season, will not be paid during the half-season suspension, which will be lifted on Aug. 31. He can practice and will be eligible to play in Cleveland's preseason games.
Hunt will not appeal the league's findings, which came following an investigation into the hotel incident and a fight in June at Put-In-Bay island, a resort area in Ohio.
Tannehill traded
The Dolphins traded quarterback Ryan Tannehill and their sixth-round pick this year to the Titans for a fourth-round choice in 2020 and a seventh-round pick in April. Tannehill's expected to replace Blaine Gabbert as the backup to Marcus Mariota.
Tannehill turns 31 in July, and his contract was to balloon to $18.7 million in base salary this year; he would have counted $26.6 million against the salary cap. The Dolphins are picking up $5 million of his $7 million salary.
Fairmont's Rosburg retires
Special teams coordinator/associate head coach Jerry Rosburg, a Fairmont, Minn., native, retired after 11 seasons with the Ravens and 40 years coaching overall. The 63-year-old Rosburg played at North Dakota State and was an assistant coach with the Gophers in 1996. He left the Gophers to take assistant jobs at Boston College and Notre Dame before moving onto the pros, with special team coordinator jobs in Cleveland and Atlanta before going to Baltimore in 2008.
