Well that'd be a bit of a buzz kill to the season opener, but if he did that it's his own damn fault.

If? 😂

If the NFL can suspend you for something that happens in the off-season, why couldn't they suspend you for something that happens at practice?

I could be wrong, but I believe the off-season things for which players can get suspended by the NFL are:

1) run ins with the law or other public "conduct unbecoming" the Shield

2) drug tests

 

🤷‍♂️

I don't care.  Let them bring their best and put them against our best.

Any comment on Aaron Donald Commissioner?

Schefter has money on the Bills week 1.

Maybe he didn't cycle off of the roids early enough this time and it's bled over into camp?

What a scumbag. How can you be as big as that guy and need to use a weapon. He 100% should be suspended. I’d say the same thing if it was Josh Allen. He’s done a few other dirty things in the past. 
 

little man syndrome 😤

As the team I'd suspend him internally. Why try to smash your teammates brains?

Was a joint practice with another team so not a teammate.  Using a helmet as a weapon has no excuse period.

I just took a quick read at the personal conduct policy and it says the NFL can suspend for basically anything lol. Honestly.

 

But more poignantly, it says "assault" and "even if the conduct does not result in a criminal conviction".

I normally thing like this in regards to injuries. But when someone is being a scumbag, they deserve to be suspended.

 

he won’t though.

I don't think the NFL regulates player conduct during practices.

That is left to the discretion of the teams

He was swinging it at bengals players during a joint practice, so there’s a much better chance the league will actually step in

[Wyobills89]

Joint practice with the Bengals. There is no excuse for one the best players in the league to be swinging a helmet at another player.

[Herc11]

NFL will announce an investigation which will then take the entire season without any kind of real updates. Then they will announce a fine leading into 2023 season.

What a tool. Some lines you just don't cross, swinging around a helmet like that to intentionally hurt another player more than qualifies. Hope there's a comeuppance.

Sounds like the NFL has no oversight on discipline for joint team practices. Regardless ridiculous behavior on Donald’s part.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

I guess we can’t be sure it’s Aaron Donald in that uniform.

NFL teams have suspended their own players for fighting in practice. I doubt McVay has the balls.

[ControllerOfPlanetX]

Sean McVey says it’s all good….so nothing to see here.
