Broncos' Kennedy gets one-game suspension without pay

[Cntrygal]

Broncos strong safety Kenoy Kennedy was suspended by the NFL for one game without pay Tuesday for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Miami receiver Chris Chambers.

He will miss Denver's game next Sunday at Kansas City, but will not be fined.

Chambers got a concussion when he went up high for a pass from Jay Fiedler and was hit in the face by Kennedy in the second quarter of Miami's 24-22 victory Sunday night.

I'm glad they took this seriously.....that was a very ugly hit.

UPDATE: "Bronco’s teammates believe he got raw deal from NFL"

Insisting that their teammate got a “raw deal,” the Denver Broncos plan to chip in to help cover the salary Kenoy Kennedy will lose during a suspension.

After looking at replays of the hit, Broncos receiver Rod Smith said he thinks Kennedy “got a raw deal.”

“I’m a receiver and I don’t like seeing receivers get hit like that,” Smith said. “But when you look at the footage of what actually happened, with Denard pushing the guy in back, you would think with all this high technology and slow motion that we’ve got, they would take that into account.
