CLEVELAND — The NFL suspended Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt for eight games Friday after a video showed him kicking a woman and his involvement in a fight at a resort.
The league cited a violation of its personal conduct policy “for physical altercations at his residence in Cleveland last February and at a resort in Ohio last June.” Hunt won’t be paid during the half-season suspension, which he won’t appeal.
The league recently completed an investigation that included a review of law enforcement records, video and electronic communications, and interviews with witnesses and Hunt.
Hunt, 23, said he wants to “again apologize for my actions.”
Hunt will be allowed to practice with the Browns through training camp until the suspension begins Aug. 31 after the final roster reduction. Hunt is scheduled to take part in the team’s offseason program starting April 1.
