New Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks has been suspended by the NFL after pleading guilty to felony insider trading, according to a report from ESPN Sunday. But the report states Kendricks can play for Seattle Monday night at Chicago while he appeals the ruling.
But whether Kendricks will play for the Seahawks after Monday — or when he could be able to — appears unclear.
ESPN reported that the NFL is considering the fact that Kendricks did not profit off the insider trading, made restitution and has no other criminal record. The NFL also has no precedent for a player with a similar situation to rely on.
