What Is Tre'Von Moehrig's Punishment for Cheap Shot on 49ers' Jennings on Video?

Carolina Panthers safety Tre'Von Moehrig was suspended without pay for one game by the NFL following his actions during the team's 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday.

Moehrig appealed the suspension but it was denied, NFL's Michael Signora announced Wednesday.

Late in the fourth quarter of the matchup with San Francisco, Moehrig appeared to strike 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings in the groin after a play. The incident led to a scuffle between both players following the game.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero noted that Moehrig's suspension will cost him a game check worth $65,000 if it is upheld.

The 26-year-old explained that Jennings was pushing him in the back and "talking crazy" throughout the game, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner.

"He was just doing some extra stuff after the play," Moehrig said. "I'll take that one. It wasn't just frustration. It was isolated.''

Jennings confirmed that he wasn't anticipating the strike, but suspected that Moehrig's actions stemmed from his physical playing style.

"That was just out of nowhere," Jennings said, via Wagoner. "I think it's probably just like I was saying, just the history of me playing ball. I play hard. I'm physically stronger than a lot of DBs out there and a lot of things happen in between the whistles. With me at least."

Moehrig finished with eight tackles and one tackle for loss in Monday's contest. As for Jennings, he hauled in five of his seven targets for 41 yards and a touchdown.
