LATROBE, Pa., Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger says he has met the NFL's requirements for reducing his upcoming six-game suspension.
Roethlisberger was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a Georgia nightclub this year and although no charges were filed in the incident, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him for six games for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
The Pittsburgh signal-caller will begin serving the suspension once the season starts. But it could be reduced to four games if he meets all the requirements of his punishment and shows good behavior.
Roethlisberger told reporters at the Steelers' Latrobe, Pa., training camp he expected to meet Goodell there Thursday and that he's convinced he has met the requirements to reduce the suspension.
"I think he does know some of the things I want him to know. I have done everything he has asked, and I've tried to go above and beyond," he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Goodell, who was visiting the Baltimore Ravens' camp Wednesday, said Roethlisberger had done everything that was asked of him "and more," the Baltimore Sun reported.
