NFL: Panthers receiver Steve Smith suspended 2 games

Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers have suspended receiver Steve Smith two games for his involvement in a training camp fight with cornerback Ken Lucas.

Smith will participate in preseason games and be allowed to practice with the team beginning Monday. He is a three-time Pro Bowl selection.

Lucas left the practice field at Wofford College on Friday with ice over his left eye.

Coach John Fox said Lucas has a broken nose.

Lucas did not practice Saturday at Fan Fest and is listed as day-to-day.

Neither player was at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday.
