"Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase has been given a one-game suspension without pay for spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey. Reports claim Chase will review the decision, with the case set to be reviewed by either Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster or Jordy Nelson, the jointly appointed hearing officers for the NFL and NFLPA. If his suspension is upheld, Chase would miss Cincinnati's Week 12 matchup against the New England Patriots."
"The incident happened during the Bengals' 34-12 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday, with video from WXIX-TV capturing Chase spitting in Ramsey's direction, which led to Ramsey throwing a punch. The suspension would dock Chase his weekly salary of $448,333 as well as a $58,823 active-game bonus. In their announcement, the league referenced the rule applying to "any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship.""
Ja'Marr Chase was suspended one game without pay for spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey. The case will be reviewed by one of the jointly appointed hearing officers — Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster, or Jordy Nelson — and Chase may appeal the decision. If upheld, the suspension will cause Chase to miss Cincinnati's Week 12 matchup against the New England Patriots and cost him his weekly salary of $448,333 plus a $58,823 active-game bonus. Video from WXIX-TV captured Chase spitting in Ramsey's direction, which prompted Ramsey to throw a punch and led to Ramsey's ejection. Chase denied spitting and said he did not open his mouth toward Ramsey.
