<p>T.J. Ward's strip club incident in 2014, in which charges for misdemeanor assault were dismissed, has resulted in a one-game suspension, Fox Sports 1 first reported.</p> <p>On the day <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/9/3/8804543/tom-brady-suspension-appeal-nfl-roger-goodell-deflategate?_ga=1.43613605.1075133156.1412282939" target="_blank">Tom Brady is freed from NFL's DeflateGate ruling</a>, Roger Goodell strikes again.</p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Denver Broncos</a> will be without starting strong safety <span>T.J. Ward</span> in Week 1 against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/">Baltimore Ravens</a>, as Ward has been suspended one game for violating the league's personal conduct policy, Fox Sports 1 first reported.</p>

<p><em>The Denver Post</em> <a href="https://twitter.com/TroyRenck/status/639524176173273088" target="new">has since confirmed the report</a>, noting that Ward's misdemeanor assault charges were ultimately dropped.</p>
<p>The Broncos announced the suspension on social media, noting that Ward can return to the active roster beginning Monday, Sept. 14.</p>
<h3>Ward can't appeal - he already did</h3>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/3608425/mustreads.css">
<p>Ward has already appealed and lost, <a href="https://twitter.com/TroyRenck/status/639529934952595456">according to Troy Renck of <i>The Denver Post</i></a>. Word is just getting out now regarding the suspension, now that Ward has lost his appeal.</p>
<p>Sorry, <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/MileHighReport/status/639529993186349056">no #FreeTJ movement</a> for Broncos fans.</p>
<h3>Odd timing</h3>
<p>It's odd that the NFL would suspend Ward 15 months after the fact, less than two weeks before the season began. It's also odd that the news drops on the same day as the DeflateGate appeal ruling.</p>
<h3>Which Broncos play for Ward</h3>
<p>Expect <a href="https://www.milehighreport.com/#roster">David Bruton, Jr.</a> and <span>Omar Bolden</span> to step in alongside starting free safety <span>Darian Stewart</span> in Week 1.</p>
