Johnson contests suspension by Chiefs
Tailback Larry Johnson filed a grievance against the Kansas City Chiefs contesting his suspension imposed by the team, according to the NFL's Web site. Through the NFL Players Association, Johnson requested an expedited hearing and an arbitrator could rule on Johnson's appeal of the suspension next week, according to the league's Web site. The Kansas City Star reported that in addition to appealing his suspension, Johnson is discussing a possible settlement with the Chiefs that could make a hearing unnecessary.
