"The NFL on Monday suspended Perryman without pay for two games for repeated violations of playing rules designed to protect player health and safety, including an incident during Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. In the second quarter, Perryman was penalized for unnecessary roughness after delivering a forcible blow to the helmet of Ryan Flournoy while the Dallas Cowboys' receiver was on the ground following a catch."
"The play violated an NFL rule prohibiting the use of any part of the helmet or facemask to initiate forcible contact to an opponent's head or neck area. Perryman will be eligible to return to the Chargers' active roster on Monday, Jan. 5, following the team's Week 17 game against the Houston Texans and Week 18 game against the Denver Broncos. Under the collective bargaining agreement, Perryman may appeal the suspension."
