The Chicago Bears have fined and suspended tight end Martellus Bennett for conduct detrimental to the team.
Bears general manager Phil Emery announced the suspension today.
It stems from Bennett getting into a practice fight with rookie cornerback Kyle Fuller.
Bennett then argued with wide receiver Brandon Marshall after taking down Fuller, a first-round draft pick from Virginia Tech.
