Following his end of week fight with team-mate CB Ken Lucas, star receiver Steve Smith has now been hit by the franchise - with a two game suspension. League rules entitle teams to internally suspend players for up to 4 games for conduct detrimental to the team.
Since Lucas was signed by the Panthers in 2005, he and Smith have regularly had verbal disputes in front of the press, but have never come to blows - at this time, it is unclear what caused tempers to boil over. Smith will miss the season opener at San Diego on September 7, and the home opener the following Sunday (14th) against Chicago.
