Suspension for Bengals LB Burfict reduced to 3 gamesBy JOE KAY

CINCINNATI (AP) Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict had his NFL suspension reduced from five to three games for his egregious hit on a Chiefs running back during a preseason game.

During the second preseason game, Burfict leveled running back Anthony Sherman on a pass play when he wasn’t the intended target.

Burfict appealed and had two games shaved off the punishment. He’ll miss home games against the Ravens and Texans and a road game with the Packers. He’ll be eligible to return for a game in Cleveland on Oct. 1.

It’s the second straight season he’s suspended for the first three games. He was suspended last season for his hit to Antonio Brown’s head during a 2015 playoff loss to the Steelers.
