The NFL has suspended Chiefs running back Larry Johnson for next Sunday's game at San Diego for violation of the league's Personal Conduct Policy.

It'll be the fourth consecutive week Johnson's won't play for the Chiefs. He'll be deactivated this week against Tampa Bay. He also was benched the previous two weeks while he dealt with team rules violations and off-the-field issues.

Johnson faces two simple assault charges for separate alleged incidents with women at Kansas City nightclubs.

Johnson met Tuesday in New York with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss Johnson's recent run-ins with trouble.

League spokesman Corry Rush sent the following statement a few minutes ago:

"Larry Johnson of the Kansas City Chiefs was notified today that he is suspended without pay for Week 10 of the regular season (Kansas City at San Diego on November 9) for violating the NFL Personal Conduct Policy. Johnson has previously violated the NFL Personal Conduct Policy and has since been involved in multiple incidents in which law enforcement was required to intervene. Johnson also was informed that upon the disposition of two pending law enforcement matters he faces the possibility of additional disciplinary action."
