    Goodell: Lynch did not violate personal conduct policy

    PITTSFORD, N.Y.
    -- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell won't discipline Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch for a hit-and-run accident that left a woman injured.

    Lynch lost his license last month after he pleaded guilty to a traffic violation. He was driving his 2008 Porsche Cayenne SUV about 3:30 a.m. on May 31 when he hit a 27-year-old Ontario woman and kept going.

    He could have faced criminal charges but reached a plea deal with prosecutors. The woman suffered a bruised hip and a cut to her thigh that required seven stitches.

    Speaking at Bills training camp, Goodell says since Lynch pleaded guilty to a traffic violation, there was no violation of the league's personal conduct policy.

    Alen, had the woman been more seriously injured, there would've been harsher consequences, I believe.

    She still was injured though. She suffered seven stitches in her leg and another injury that I can't recall. I think when you put others in harm and you do harm to another(no matter how serious it is), you should be disciplined for it.

    He pleaded guilty to a traffic violation and that is not against NFL rules, said Goodell.

    He's very very lucky that he didnt kill this woman.
    Then again Ray Lewis was an accomplice to a murder and he's still playing.
