Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has been suspended one game without pay for spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey.
Chase will miss his team’s upcoming game against the New England Patriots following the incident that occurred in Cincinnati’s 34-12 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. Video from Cincinnati’s WXIX-TV showed Chase clearly spitting in Ramsey’s direction, which prompted Ramsey to throw a punch at Chase.
Chase’s one-game suspension will cost him his weekly paycheck of $448,333 along with a $58,823 per game active bonus he now will be forfeiting.
