Trysten Hill was suspended for two games by the NFL for punching John Simpson after Dallas' Thanksgiving Day loss to Las Vegas.
Jon Runyan, the vice president of football operations for the NFL, suspended a player for violating conduct rules.
The Las Vegas Raiders-Dallas Cowboys game on November 25th was a game that the office considers unnecessary roughness and a lack of sportsmanship. As both teams were shaking hands, you waited more than 50 seconds for your opponent at the 50-yard line. When you found him, you walked towards him in the opposite direction of your locker room. Runyan wrote a letter to Hill saying that he threw an open hand punch to his facemask forcible enough to cause his opponent's helmet to come off.
Under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement, Hill can appeal the suspension. The decision on the appeal would be made by either James or Derrick.
If Hill doesn't appeal, he would be able to return to the Cowboys' active roster on Monday. He would miss the games against the Saints and the Washington Football Team.
