NFL suspends Chargers LB Perryman two games
LOS ANGELES — The NFL suspended Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman for two games without pay, citing "repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players, including during Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys."
Perryman was flagged for unnecessary roughness in the second quarter of the Chargers' 34-17 win after delivering a helmet-to-helmet hit on Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy, who was on the ground after making a catch. Perryman remained in the game and finished with six tackles, second-most on the team.
Perryman's agent Ron Butler told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, that Perryman will appeal the suspension. But if it is upheld, he would not be eligible to return to the Chargers' active roster until Monday, Jan. 5, following games against the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos.

With the Los Angeles Chargers in the thick of the playoff race in the AFC, the team will now play its final two games of the regular season without a key player on defense. Linebacker Denzel Perryman was suspended for two games following "repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players," the league announced.
Perryman's suspension came a day after he was penalized for unnecessary roughness after a helmet-to-helmet hit on Dallas Cowboys wideout Ryan Flournoy. After making a catch, Flournoy found himself sitting on the ground. As Flournoy attempted to get up, Perryman came in to deliver hit directly to Flournoy's head.

Denzel Perryman suspended two games for repeated violations of player-safety rules
The Chargers will not have one of their key defensive players for the last two weeks of the regular season.
The league announced on Monday that linebacker Denzel Perryman has been suspended for two games for repeated violations of player-safety rules.
The NFL’s announcement notes that Perryman was flagged for unnecessary roughness for delivering a forcible blow to the helmet of Cowboys receiver Ryan Flournoy while he was on the ground after making a catch during the second quarter of Sunday’s game. That action violated Rule 12, Section 2, Article 10(b), which prohibits “using any part of the helmet or facemask to butt or make forcible contact to an opponent’s head or neck area.”
