Vick was suspended for two entire seasons. The additional preseason 2 games suspension was considered a punishment in his case because it denied him a training opportunity. I'm not aware of any other case in which a preseason suspension was considered as a punishment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suspensions_in_the_National_Football_League doesn't list any. Are you aware of any other cases? I just don't think it's done [for exactly the reasons you state.]

Most beginning of the season suspensions include the pre-season. The important part of the Vick post jail suspension is really that the gave him 2 pre-season games to practice with his new team.
