On Friday, Kamara took responsibility for his role in the incident. 

"It's a tough ordeal to be in," Kamara said, according to ESPN. "You know, I never want to be involved in something where someone gets hurt or severely injured or anything. Poor judgment on my end, definitely a bad decision, but I'm a man. Everything I've ever done in my life, I've stood on. And I can take accountability for it and I can say when I'm wrong and I was completely wrong."

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Chris Lammons has also been suspended three games, an NFL spokesperson said.
