Ndamukong Suh won’t face punishment for knocking off Alfred Morris’ helmet

Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh will not face punishment from the league following a play on Sunday in which it looked like he kicked the helmet off Washington running back Alfred Morris, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The NFL's senior football operations staff reviewed the play and determined that "Suh's action was not deemed a kick."

During the play, Morris went down to the ground and was stepped over by Suh. When Suh went over him, his shin hit Morris' facemask, which knocked the helmet off his head.

This being Suh, plenty of people got upset and claimed he was back to his dirty ways. That kind of response isn't entirely unwarranted, given Suh's history of "incidents" that eventually led to punishment by the league. He has been fined a total of nine times in his career -- three times in his rookie season in 2010, twice in 2011, once in 2012, twice in 2013 and once last season. Most notably, Suh was also suspended two games for stomping on Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith.

Suh's Week 1 fine in 2013 was a record $100,000 for a low block on Minnesota Vikings center John Sullivan. To date, he's totaled just over $420,000 in fines. That includes a $70,000 fine for stepping on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers last season, a fine that originally manifested as a one-game suspension that Suh was able to appeal down.
