Colts QB Chad Kelly suspended for first 2 regular season games

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Chad Kelly, who signed with the Indianapolis Colts this month as a quarterback, will sit out the first two games of the team’s 2019 regular season after violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

The suspension stems from an October arrest in Denver for criminal trespassing in Denver.

Kelly was released by the Broncos immediately after that arrest.
