Denzel Perryman's Two-Game Suspension Upheld on Appeal

Appeals officer Jordy Nelson upheld the two-game suspension for Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman due to repeated violations of player-safety rules. Perryman will miss the final two games of the season, including Saturday's against the Texans. The suspension stems from an unnecessary roughness penalty on Cowboys receiver Ryan Flournoy. Perryman made 47 tackles and three pass breakups in 10 games this season and is eligible to return Jan. 5. Nelson is one of three jointly appointed hearing officers.
