Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman Bryant McKinnie has been suspended without pay for the team's first four regular-season games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.
McKinnie's suspension begins Saturday, the league announced Friday afternoon. He is eligible to return to the Vikings' active roster on Sept. 29 following Minnesota's Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans.
McKinnie faces one felony and four misdemeanor charges stemming from a fight outside a Miami nightclub last February. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Minnesota's starting left tackle for the last 87 games dating to the middle of his rookie season, McKinnie has been reprimanded in the past for off-the-field troubles. Most notably, he was fined one game check for his role in a rowdy boat party with several teammates in 2005. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct in that incident.
