Redskins suspend Haynesworth 4 games without pay

The Washington Redskins have suspended defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth without pay for the last four games of the NFL regular season.

The team says in a press release Tuesday that Haynesworth was punished for “conduct detrimental to the club.”

Coach Mike Shanahan says Haynesworth “repeatedly refused to cooperate with our coaching staff in a variety of ways over an extended period of time.”

The move caps a long feud between Haynesworth, a two-time All-Pro with a $100 million contract, and first-year Washington coach Shanahan.

Haynesworth was inactive for Washington’s 31-7 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, which dropped the Redskins to 5-7.
