NFL Notes: Suspensions, Bears, Cardinals, Packers & Ravens

Suspensions

• Packers DL Letroy Guion and Chiefs CB Sean Smith have been reinstated from suspension. Each team will have their roster exemption expire on Friday. (Howard Balzer)

Bears

• David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune believes that QB Jimmy Clausen “must” play well against the Raiders in Week 4 to “justify” him keeping a spot on the active roster.

Cardinals

• HC Bruce Arians said RB Chris Johnson will be kept in the “15-20” rushes per game range, as RB Andre Ellington is set to return from his PCL injury for Week 4. (Alex Marvez)

Packers

TE Andrew Quarless is expected to miss “at least” a month, after sustaining a knee injury in Monday’s game.

“Andrew was in there this morning,” said HC Mike McCarthy, via Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “Just had a chance to visit with him. I know Dr. McKenzie (team physician) and him visited. He’ll definitely be challenged this week. He has a knee sprain. I don’t think he will make it this week.”

It is worth mentioning that one NFL Network report said Quarless suffered a sprained MCL and will miss four to six weeks.

Ravens

• OC Marc Trestman said on Tuesday that starting TE Crockett Gillmore will “probably” miss Thursday’s game, due to a calf injury he sustained in Week 3. (Zac Jackson)
