Aqib Talib has been suspended for one game by the NFL for poking Dwayne Allen in the right eye.

Talib is appealing the suspension so he will play on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

If the suspension is upheld, Talib would lose one game check -- $294,117 on a $5.5 million base salary.

 

"I sat with Aqib on the plane, coming home [Sunday] night,'' said Gary Kubiak on Monday. "I had a long talk with him. He's wrong, he needs to stay out of the situation. It hurt the team, he knows that. But by no means did he, I'm convinced, have intentions of poking anybody in the eye. That's where we're at. I'm come straight from meetings to you guys.''
