The Chargers<\/a> will be without starting linebacker Denzel Perryman<\/a> for the remainder of the regular season.<\/p>\n

The NFL on Monday suspended Perryman without pay for two games for repeated violations of rules designed to protect player health and safety, including an incident during Sunday\u2019s win over the Dallas Cowboys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter Perryman was penalized for unnecessary roughness after delivering a blow to the helmet of Ryan Flournoy<\/a> while the Cowboys receiver was on the ground following a catch. The play violated a rule prohibiting the use of any part of the helmet or face mask to initiate forcible contact to an opponent\u2019s head or neck area.<\/p>\n

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Perryman will appeal the suspension.<\/p>\n

\u201cDenzel\u2019s done a good job, a great job, of trying to take the helmet out of his play. And I know he\u2019ll continue to do that,\u201d Harbaugh told reporters Monday.<\/p>\n

Perryman, tied for fifth on the team with 47 tackles, will be eligible to return to the active roster on Jan. 5, following the Week 17 game against the Houston Texans and Week 18 game against the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n

Under the collective bargaining agreement, any appeal would be heard and decided by one of three jointly appointed and compensated hearing officers: Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster or Jordy Nelson, all former players.<\/p>\n

Etc.<\/p>\n

Running back Kimani Vidal (neck), cornerbacks Donte Jackson (groin) and Benjamin St-Juste (shoulder), offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer (hamstring) and receiver Tre\u2019 Harris (finger) are considered day-to-day, Harbaugh said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chargers will be without starting linebacker Denzel Perryman for the remainder of the regular season.
