Although no website I visit seems to be able to give an official report on the situation, all of them are reporting that Denver wide receiver Brandon Marshall will be suspended for three games due to his offseason issues. The three games can potentially be reduced to two games, if Marshall agrees to counseling during his suspension. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that he’s not that arrogant that he would turn down the counseling, so let’s assume he’ll be out for the first two games of the season (possibly hanging out with Steve Smith or something).
We all knew this was coming, but we just weren’t sure of the details. While Steve Smith’s suspension came out of the blue, our power rankings for Marshall had already been adjusted accordingly, so even with this two or three game suspension, he still ranks as the 14th wide receiver, right before Wes Welker and the Detoit boys (Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson).
