"Carolina Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig's one-game suspension for striking San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings in the groin area has been upheld on appeal, the league announced Wednesday night. Moehrig, who coach Dave Canales said is dealing with an ankle injury, will miss Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The suspension will cost Moehrig $65,000, or an 18th of his $1.17 million salary."
"The appeal was ruled upon by Derrick Brooks, one of three hearing officers jointly appointed by the NFL and NFL Players Association. Near the end of Monday night's game, won 20-9 by the 49ers, television cameras showed Moehrig delivering a punch to Jennings' groin area. Jennings did not immediately retaliate and was seen pleading with the officials to throw a flag on Moehrig."

Television footage showed Moehrig delivering the punch late in the game that the 49ers won 20-9. Jennings did not immediately retaliate but struck Moehrig after the game and has not been punished. Moehrig is also dealing with an ankle injury and will be eligible to return next Monday.
