Commanders’ Daron Payne suspended after punching Lions’ Amon-Ra St. Brown in blowout loss
NY Post
Daron Payne’s punch is going to cost him.
The Commanders defensive tackle has been suspended one game without pay by the NFL after swinging at Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown in Sunday’s 44-22 blowout loss at home.
Payne, 28, will be eligible to return on Nov. 17, one day after the Commanders face the Dolphins in Madrid, NFL.com reported Monday. He could also appeal the ban.
The former first-round pick was ejected from Sunday’s game after putting his hips into a right cross punch at St. Brown in the first half.
Payne’s frustration likely boiled over as things started to get out of hand, with Detroit taking a 19-point lead with 9:41 left in the second quarter.
He was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and tossed for the first time in his career.
