J.J. Watt puzzled by Texans LB Denzel Perryman 3-game suspension

Former Houston Texans DE J.J. Watt is puzzled as to the type of suspension the NFL laid upon LB Denzel Perryman.

 

J.J. Watt may not play for the Houston Texans any longer, but expect the former All-Pro to constantly side the organization that enshrined him in its Ring of Honor.

Watt took to social media Tuesday to pose rhetorical questions surrounding the three-game suspension without pay of Texans linebacker Denzel Perryman for repeated health and safety violations of in-game rules.

“‘Six violations throughout his career,’ Watt tweeted from the suspension notice. “He’s played in the league for 8 years! 6 penalties in 102 games means you deserve to be suspended 3 games without pay?”

Perryman’s first such penalty came in Week 9 in the 39-37 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Perryman provided the Texans with five combined tackles and two tackles for loss in Houston’s 30-27 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Texans LB Denzel Perryman suspended 3 games

The NFL suspended Houston Texans LB Denzel Perryman three games related to repeated health and safety violations.

The Houston Texans won’t have the services of Denzel Perryman for the next three games.

According to Ian Rapoport from the NFL Network, the NFL decided to suspend the Pro Bowl linebacker three games without pay for repeated violations of playing rules surrounding the health and safety of players.

In Week 10’s 30-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Perryman incurred his second unnecessary roughness penalty of the season and his seventh since 2019.

Perryman provided the Texans with five combined tackles and two tackles for loss the past week. On the season, the 5-11, 240-pounder has generated 41 combined tackles, a half-sack, four tackles for loss, and a quarterback hit through six games, five of which he has started.
