What a down fall: New York Giants suspended Daniel Jones due to…..
Former New York Giants kicker Josh Brown has been suspended another six games for domestic violence accusations.
Brown served a one-game suspension at the start of the 2016 season, and he accepted the additional ban after further NFL investigation.
“We reopened the investigation based on new info,” the league texted ESPN on Friday. “Concluded there was a violation of our personal conduct policy and imposed 6 game suspension which he accepted without appeal.
In a statement later Friday, the league referred to documents released in October 2016 by the King County (Washington) Sheriff’s Office as part of its investigation into a 2015 incident between Brown and his then-wife.
“These documents, which previously had been withheld from the public and the NFL, contained information regarding a series of other incidents separate from the May 2015 incident,” the statement said.
The decision comes on the same day that Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was granted a preliminary injunction from a U.S. District Court judge in Texas that will allow him to continue to play this season. Elliott was suspended for six games on Aug. 11 for a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy.
Although Brown remains unsigned after the Giants released him in October 2016, he will start serving the six-game suspension immediately, starting with this week’s games.
Brown told “Good Morning America” in February that he never hit Molly Brown, now his ex-wife.
“I mean, I had put my hands on her. I kicked the chair. I held her down. The holding down was the worst moment in our marriage,” Brown said during an interview with ABC News’ Paula Faris. “I never hit her. I never slapped her. I never choked her. I never did those types of things.”
