Shefter’s August 19 note contests NFL Networks Tom Pelissero’s of April.
#Chiefs CB Bashaud Breeland – who was arrested on Tuesday on multiple charges, including possession of marijuana – was already facing a four-game suspension for a separate violation of the substance abuse policy, sources told me and @MikeGarafolo. Breeland is appealing.

Later Wednesday afternoon, Breeland acknowledged the suspension by posting a video and apology note on his official Instagram channel.
BREELAND: As previously announced by the league, I received a 4-game suspension for off-the-field matters.
I am posting this today because I want to publicly apologize to the entire Chiefs organization, my coaches, teammates, family and fans.
I accept full responsibility for my actions, and I look forward to returning to the field with my teammates to defend our Super Bowl title.
Many thanks to everyone for your continued support, and Let’s Go Chiefs!
