Bengals' Williams suspended four games

Bengals right guard Bobbie Williams has been suspended for the first four games of the season because he violated the NFL's policy on performance enhancing substances.

The 12-year veteran has started all 16 games each of the last four seasons. It'll be the first time since 2003 with Philadelphia that he missed four games in a season.

Coach Marvin Lewis said the team was aware of the pending suspension. Williams won't be allowed to work out with the team until the fifth week of the season.
