The Facts:
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell spoke to reporters this morning at Steelers training camp and appeared to leave the door open that Ben Roethlisberger's suspension could be fewer than four games. When asked if there was any chance Roethlisberger's suspension could be fewer than four games, Goodell responded: "I'll make that decision later this month, but that's the way it was designed. We'll evaluate all of that at the end of the month."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
When he was asked to clarify whether the suspension could be fewer than four games, Goodell was vague: "We'll make that decision on what the suspension is going to be at the end of the month." Roethlisberger had been suspended for a minimum of four games and a maximum of six games by Goodell after he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Georgia in the spring. The best news here? It sounds like those waiting to draft until early in September will know exactly how much time Roethlisberger will miss.
