Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay has been suspended by the NFL for four games for a violation of the league's personal conduct policy.

Gay was arrested in January in Kansas, on a charge of criminal property damage of less than $1,000, a misdemeanor.

He will miss games against the Indianapolis Colts, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Las Vegas Raiders and Bills and is eligible to return after the Week 6 game against Buffalo.

Gay agreed over the summer to enter a diversion program to resolve the criminal case.
