The NFL has announced the punishment for Danny Trevathan’s ugly hit against the Green Bay Packers.
The former Kentucky Wildcat LB and current Chicago Bear leveled a dirty hit against Green Bay WR Davante Adams Thursday night. The hit drew a penalty, and Adams had to leave the field on a stretcher.
It was the type of hit that the NFL will almost always discipline, and the NFL’s punishment was announced on Saturday.
Adam Schefter had the report on Twitter:
Bears LB Danny Trevathan suspended two games for violating NFL player safety rules.
