EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — A person familiar with the ruling says the NFL has suspended former New York Giants kicker and current free agent Josh Brown for six games. The decision follows a league review of Brown’s repeated abuse of his former wife while they were married.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because the NFL had not released its ruling.

ESPN first reported the suspension, the second handed to Brown for abusing his former wife, Molly.

The NFL “concluded there was a violation of our personal conduct policy and imposed 6 game suspension which he accepted without appeal,” a league official told ESPN in a text message.
