Chiefs' Smith suspended 3 games

The Chiefs will be without one of their best defensive backs for the early part of this coming season.

Sean Smith was suspended three games by the NFL for violation of the substance abuse policy after he pleaded guilty to a DUI charge in Kansas City. He will have two years of probation as a result.

The league calls for a two game suspension for offenses against its substance abuse policy, but allows for increased punishment for what they call aggravating circumstances. Smith was pulled over by police after his car collided with and broke a light pole.

Smith's absence could derail the Chiefs' pass defense early on. They host Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos to Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 17 and two weeks later Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, teams that were fourth and sixth, respectively, in total offense last season.
