NFL suspends Frankie Luvu for repeated hip-drop tackles

The NFL has suspended Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu without pay for one game after performing another hip-drop tackle in Sunday night’s loss to the Seahawks.

It happened in the first quarter. No penalty was called.

He’ll miss Sunday’s game against the Lions, unless his appeal is successful. Any appeal would be determined by Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster, or Jordy Nelson, the hearing officers jointly appointed and compensated by the NFL and the NFLPA to handle appeals of on-field discipline.
