American NFL safety in the spotlight for disciplinary action
The NFL has suspended Buffalo Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam? Wait. This is about Gardner-Johnson and Franklin for spitting incidents in Bills-Raiders game. Gardner-Johnson is suspended for one game; Franklin also faces potential suspension; both incidents occurred late in the first half with penalties issued. The suspensions run during Bills bye week, ending November 2.
Sam Franklin’s one-game suspension for allegedly spitting at Raiders lineman DJ Glaze has been overturned on appeal, with the NFL fining him $14,926 instead. Buffalo players face new scrutiny as C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s suspension is upheld; Franklin is cleared to return after Buffalo’s bye.
