Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig suspended one game for unsportsmanlike conduct vs. 49ers

Carolina Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig has been suspended for one game by the NFL for unsportsmanlike conduct during a 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Moehrig hit 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings in the groin in the fourth quarter, violating NFL rules against actions contrary to sportsmanship. Following the game, Jennings retaliated by striking Moehrig's face, an incident under review by the NFL for a potential fine. Moehrig's suspension takes effect immediately, making him ineligible for the Panthers' upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Moehrig, a fifth-year starter and former second-round pick, has played in all 12 games this season, recording 81 tackles, two passes defensed, a sack, and an interception. He will be eligible to return on December 1, after the Panthers' Week 13 game. The team may also be without cornerback Jaycee Horn, who suffered a concussion
