Kansas City, MO -- (Sports Network) - Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson was suspended by the team for the November 8 game at Jacksonville for conduct detrimental to the club.

On Tuesday, Johnson issued an apology for remarks he made since Sunday's loss to the San Diego Chargers. On his Twitter account Sunday night, Johnson posted demeaning comments toward Chiefs head coach Todd Haley and used a gay slur in another post before issuing another gay remark on Monday.

The team conducted an investigation and decided to suspend Johnson, who will not be permitted to participate in any team activities or be on team premises until Monday, November 9. The Chiefs have a bye this week before taking on the Jaguars and are 1-6 this season.

Johnson has had a history of problems off the field during his tenure with the Chiefs.

In March of this year, Johnson pleaded guilty to two counts of disturbing the peace stemming from two separate incidents last October involving women at Kansas City nightclubs.

Johnson was subsequently benched by the Chiefs for consecutive weeks following the initial incident then suspended by the NFL and deactivated by the team to focus on his personal life after word of the second incident surfaced.

The Penn State product had already faced two previous charges with assaulting a woman. In 2003 Johnson was accused of aggravated assault and misdemeanor domestic battery for waving a gun at his ex-girlfriend, but the charges were dropped because the running back entered a domestic-violence program. In 2005, Johnson was accused of pushing a woman to the ground at another KC nightspot, but the charges were later dropped.

So far this season, Johnson has rushed 132 times for 358 yards with no touchdowns. He also has 12 receptions for 76 yards.
