Jon Gruden, on the NFL suspending MLB Vontaze Burfict for the season: “I’m not really going to say anything. I’ve talked to (Jon) Runyan (NFL Vice President of Football Operations) in the league office, he knows how I feel. It hurts our team really bad. And I’m anxious to see what the appeal says. I’m not happy about it. At all. And I don’t want to say anything else about it. I’m obviously upset about it.”
Burfict had a previous five-game suspension for illegal hits knocked down to three games on appeal, so the Raiders may get him back at some point this season.
They won’t have him against the Bears this weekend, however, and it’s clear that doesn’t sit right with Gruden.
