Overview

• Denzel Perryman, linebacker for the Houston Texans, has had his three-game suspension reduced to two games upon appeal.
• The suspension was initially imposed due to Perryman's repeated violation of player safety rules, specifically for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase.
• The appeal was heard by James Thrash, who was jointly appointed by the NFL and the NFLPA.
• Perryman will miss games against the Arizona Cardinals and Jacksonville Jaguars, and will be eligible to return to the Texans' active roster on Nov. 27.
• This is Perryman's first season with Houston, and he is currently second on the team with 41 tackles.
