Carolina Panthers<\/a> safety Tre’von Moehrig<\/a>‘s one-game suspension for striking San Francisco 49ers<\/a> wide receiver Jauan Jennings<\/a> in the groin area has been upheld on appeal, the league announced<\/a> Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Moehrig, who coach Dave Canales said is dealing with an ankle injury, will miss Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams<\/a>. The suspension will cost Moehrig $65,000 of his $1.17 million salary, or the equivalent of a game check.<\/p>\n

The appeal was ruled upon by Derrick Brooks, one of three hearing officers jointly appointed by the NFL and NFL Players Association.<\/p>\n

Near the end of Monday night’s game, which the 49ers won 20-9, 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. Jennings, however, hit Moehrig after the game<\/a> with a quick, open-handed right cross to his face mask. Jennings has not been punished by the NFL.<\/p>\n

It’s a tough loss for the Panthers, who may also be without starting cornerback Jaycee Horn<\/a> after he sustained a concussion against the 49ers. Horn remains in the concussion protocol.<\/p>\n

Carolina is 6-6, a half-game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> (6-5) in the NFC South, heading into Sunday’s home game against the 9-2 Rams.<\/p>\n

Moehrig will be eligible to return to the Panthers’ active roster next Monday.<\/p>\n
