The verdict is in, and Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has lost his appeal of his two game suspension, according to the NFL.
Art Shell, jointly appointed by the league and the players associate to hear such cases, saw no merit in the appeal, so the suspension is upheld. Suh will miss the next two games – against the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings.
The suspension is in response to an incident where Suh was tangled on the ground with Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith. As Suh went to get up, he repeatedly pushed Dietrich-Smith’s helmet into the ground after the play. When Suh was back up and being separated from the incident, he stomped on Dietrich-Smith, who was still lying on the ground.
It is only the third multi-game suspension the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has given out.
