Browns Defensive End Myles Garrett is appealing his indefinite suspension after Thursday night's on-field fight between him and Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph.

According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, Garrett and his representation may have found a loophole in the League's Collective Bargaining Agreement that doesn't allow indefinite suspensions for on-field acts.

As #Browns DE Myles Garrett gets set to appeal his lengthy suspension, one source said an argument will be that the CBA does not allow for indefinite suspensions for on-field acts. Garrett will hope for a finite number, as well as a reduction.

Garrett is the talk of the NFL after he ripped off Rudolph's helmet with just 8 seconds left in Thursday's Browns win over the Steelers, and then clubbed him over the head with it. On Friday the NFL suspended Garrett without pay indefinitely.

A Kent State football player has been suspended from the team after kidnapping charges.

Senior Nate Holley is off the team indefinitely facing first degree felony kidnapping charges, in a case involving a female last week in Franklin Township.

That's according to the Record Courier.

Cleveland.com reports that he's posted 10 percent of a $50,000 bond and has been ordered to stay at Akron's Oriana House.

Holley has a preliminary hearing set for Thursday in Ravenna.

Kent State has confirmed the suspension, and say they are taking the matter "very seriously".
