KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs will be without starting cornerback Bashaud Breeland for the first four games of the season because of off-the-field issues earlier this year, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person confirmed the league intends to suspend Breeland on the condition of anonymity because the announcement had not been made.

The news, which was first reported by ESPN.com, has long been assumed after Breeland was arrested in April on multiple charges that included resisting arrest, marijuana possession and driving without a license.
