ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen reported earlier Wednesday that Roethlisberger will be suspended 4-6 games (he could have a six game suspension reduced to four if he satisfies certain conditions). Worth noting: FOXSports.com insider Jay Glazer and NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora -- apparently independently of ESPN -- are also reporting Roethlisberger will get 4-6 games (see full story
