Former New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown, 32, was investigated by the NFL for several off-field incidents, including two sexual misconduct allegations that he denies.
An NFL statement said the suspension was for “multiple violations” of the league’s personal conduct policy.
In June, Brown was given two years of probation and 100 hours of community service, as well as being ordered to attend a 13-week anger management course, after being charged with burglary and battery.
Brown said he would not play in the NFL again when he was released by the Patriots after just one game in September.
