The NFL has suspended Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks for eight games for admitting to insider trading.
The league announced Tuesday after multiple hearings on the matter Kendricks can return to the team on week 12 and can resume playing week 14. Seattle hosts the Minnesota Vikings that week, on December 10.
Commissioner Roger Goodell had suspended Kendricks indefinitely on Oct. 2.
The Seahawks knew when they signed last season’s Super Bowl starter for Philadelphia in September for the rest of this season that the league was likely to suspend him. They should feel fortunate he’s been able to play three games for them early this season replacing Pro Bowl veteran K.
