NFLPA will not appeal Haynesworth's five game suspension

The NFL Players Association will not appeal Albert Haynesworth's five-game suspension for stomping on the head of Dallas centre Andre Gurode.

The Tennessee Titans defensive tackle was suspended Monday for kicking Gurode in the head twice in Sunday's 45-14 victory by the Cowboys.

Haynesworth announced through his agent on Tuesday that he would not appeal the suspension. Upshaw discussed the suspension with Haynesworth and other people including NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

``We represent both players here, and it is best for all concerned that we let the suspension stand,'' NFL Players Association executive director Gene Upshaw said Wednesday. ``While Roger has expressed a willingness to meet with Haynesworth and I expect that meeting to take place, there will be no formal hearing where the suspension will be challenged.''

The suspension is the longest-ever punishment in the NFL for on-field behaviour.
