While the NFL will not begin its official review until Monday of the play from Thanksgiving in which Lions defensive end Ndamukong Suh appeared to kick Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin, it is quite possible that Suh will receive a suspension for the play, according to league sources.
As is always the case in these situations, the league will review the play in question from every angle and make a determination if anything unusual took place. The league will examine if this was a routine football motion involved in the play or if this appears to be out of bounds of a normal action. If the latter is found to be the case, then the player's history is examined to determine if this is a repeat offender and someone who has not curbed such behavior. Suh was suspended for stomping on an opponent during a Thanksgiving game in 2011.
Even a cursory review of the play, as some would make over the weekend, reveals a motion from Suh that does not appear within the bounds of what is normally seen on a football field. And given the discipline that Suh has already faced and the amount of infractions he has accumulated related to personal fouls or intending to injury, league sources anticipate any discipline discussion involving him to begin with the possibility of suspension.
