ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- A person familiar with the decision has told The Associated Press that the NFL will suspend Buffalo Bills linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali for the first four games of the season for punching and breaking the jaw of New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity Thursday because the NFL isn't expected to announce the suspension until Friday.
Enemkpali will be suspended without pay for violating the league's personal conduct policy following the altercation that took place inside the Jets locker room on Aug. 11.
