No decision
BOSTON -- A decision on receiver Terry Glenn's effort to overturn his season-long suspension by the New England Patriots will come later in the week.
"We'll have to wait another day or two," Glenn's agent, James Gould, said after Tuesday's deadline passed.
In the wake of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, the NFL Players Association offices in Washington were closed by mid-afternoon. NFL personnel were focusing on arranging for employees at their New York offices to get home safely, league spokesman Greg Aiello said.
Tuesday was the deadline, specified in the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and its players, for arbitrator Richard Bloch to rule after he heard testimony during a 13-hour hearing at Foxboro Stadium last Thursday.
