Bengals defensive back Shawn Williams was suspended without pay for one game for a violation of unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct rules for stepping on an opponent - Dolphins offensive lineman Solomon Kindley - late in the second quarter of Cincinnati's loss Sunday in Miami, an NFL official confirmed Monday night.
Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Williams may appeal his suspension within three business days.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported earlier Monday that the participants in a fourth-quarter fight between the teams won't be suspended for their roles in the altercation, but fines will be considered.
