The NFL issued a one-game suspension to Washington Commanders defensive lineman Daron Payne for punching Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, the league announced Monday.

Washington Commanders defensive lineman Daron Payne was suspended without pay for one game Monday by the NFL for unsportsmanlike conduct during Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions.

The former first-round pick was ejected from Sunday’s game after putting his hips into a right cross punch at St. Brown in the first half.

Following a 5-game losing streak, Commanders DT Daron Payne has been suspended for one game for punching a Lions player.
