NFL suspends Steelers' DK Metcalf for 2 games after altercation with Lions fan

The NFL office said Monday that it suspended Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf for two games for initiating a physical confrontation with a fan at Ford Field, calling it conduct detrimental to the NFL.
Following review of sideline images, CBS cameras captured Metcalf and Ryan Kennedy in a heated second-quarter exchange, prompting the NFL league policy review barring players from confronting fans.
CBS footage shows Metcalf grabbing the fan's shirt and shoving him back into the seats while the fan's blue wig fell forward, and Metcalf finished with four catches for 42 yards.
The league suspended Metcalf for two games; under the collective bargaining agreement he may appeal and stands to lose $555,556 t, with eligibility to return on Monday, Jan. 5.
A prompt hearing will be held by the commissioner or his designee, as the Head Murphy Law Firm said Ryan Kennedy categorically denies slur use and reports harassment and threats.
