Broncos coach Mike Shanahan did not confirm reports that wide receiver Brandon Marshall has been issued a suspension by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Shanahan said a decision could take a few more days. A report on NBC during the Hall of Fame game telecast indicated Marshall will receive a three-game suspension. NFL Network reported the suspension could be reduced to two games if Marshall undergoes counseling.

NFL officials, meanwhile, said only that the league will issue no ruling Monday.

"It's the same thing I told you a week ago Wednesday: I'm not sure," Shanahan said after Monday's morning practice session. "When I know, I'll let you guys know. If I made comments every time I heard I rumor, I'd be talking to you every day. I'd have to answer every question that you ask me. Let's deal with reality. When we know something we'll let (the media) know."

Marshall has not spoken with reporters during training camp, and he exited the practice field without speaking on Monday.

    Hear me now, believe me later. Brandon Marshall is not smart enough to get over his trouble with beating up women, driving drunk and lying about off-field injuries.

    He's an emotional midget whose psyche stopped growing in the 6th grade.

    Write it down now. This guy will be in trouble again. And when he gets in trouble again he'll blame the police or blame his ex-girlfriend. Maybe he'll blame Rod Smith since the Donx have assigned him to baby sit poe widdow Bwandon.

    It ain't over with this punk. Ballee Dat.

    I think you're right kerrdawg. Or maybe someone that sat on the bench in high school watching Brandon score all the touchdowns and is a little bitter about his success. We know bmat, you could have made it to the NFL but you hurt your knee or something right? No need for all the hatred. Brandon has made some mistakes but he will be fine. So go to some other teams page and blog some hatred about their star player if it makes you feel better about yourself. Brandon will be back stronger than ever this year no matter how many games he's suspended. Ballee dat, homeboyeeeeeeeeee!!!!
