The Facts:
According to league spokesman Brian McCarthy, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will not consider reducing Roethlisberger's suspension below four games.

The commissioner will consider whether to reduce the six-game suspension to four, which has been the plan all around. As noted in the previous item, Goodell's comments this morning appeared to leave the door open to fewer than four games. That's not the case. ... Goodell met with Roethlisberger while visiting the Steelers’ training camp on Thursday. The NFL will continue to monitor Roethlisberger’s progress before he and Goodell meet in New York later this month and the commissioner makes a final decision on how long the Steelers star will be out. A reduction would allow Roethlisberger to play Oct. 17 at home against Cleveland rather than Oct. 31 at New Orleans.
