The Buffalo Bill have suspended Offensive Line Coach Aaron Kromer without pay for violating the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy.
Kromer will rejoin the team at training camp but be suspended without pay for the first six games of the upcoming NFL season.
The suspension comes just days after Florida prosecutors dropped a battery charge against Kromer for allegedly punching a boy for using his beach chairs. The Bills originally placed Kromer on paid leave following the incident. His suspension will begin on September 7th, the week leading up to the Bills' regular season opener against Indianapolis and run through Buffalo's game against Cincinnati on October 18th.
A statement from the Bills (below) indicates the team worked with the NFL on resolving the matter.
