Eagles Linebacker Nigel Bradham Suspended for First Game of Season

Eagles Linebacker Nigel Bradham has been suspended for the first game of the 2018 season.

Eagles Linebacker Nigel Bradham has been suspended for the first game of the 2018 season.

The news was first reported by ESPN's Field Yates.

Bradham responded to the report with a tweet, saying the incident "stemmed from a July 2016 incident and the matter is now resolved."

The 28-year-old was charged with aggravated assault after he turned himself in to Miami police in July 2016, according to ESPN. Bradham assaulted a hotel employee, striking the victim without provocation. 

Bradham helped Philadelphia win its first Super Bowl LII with a 41–33 victory over the Patriots.

The Eagles host the Falcons on Sept. 6 for their opening game. He'll be back for the team's second game of the year in Tampa Bay.
