Cris Carter's Son Duron Suspended 1 Game for Knocking Down Opposing Coach

Montreal Alouettes wide receiver Duron Carter, son of Hall of Fame NFL receiver Cris Carter, was suspended for one game by the CFL for bumping into Ottawa Redblacks head coach Rick Campbell during Montreal's 28-13 loss to Ottawa on Thursday, according to Gary Lawless of TSN.

"It's always disappointing to be suspended. An appeal has already been filed," said Carter, per Didier Ormejuste of RDS.

The league also fined Campbell an undisclosed amount for his role in the altercation, per Lawless. 

The incident occurred after Carter caught a 10-yard touchdown pass despite taking an illegal helmet-to-helmet hit from safety Jermaine Robinson, which left Carter with a cut on his forehead.

"Carter then strode defiantly in front of the Redblacks’ bench, knocking down head coach Rick Campbell, who was several steps on the field and almost certainly embellished the situation," according to Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette. "Ottawa players intervened before numerous Als—including offensive line coach Kris Sweet—came to the rescue."

Per Zurkowsky, the team also fined Carter for his actions.

His teammates, meanwhile, had differing opinions on the incident. 

“I thought what he did was selfish, childish and completely uncalled for,” one unnamed player told Zurkowsky, while another said, "From what I know of Carter, he never means any harm from his actions.”

Carter, 25, has 11 receptions for 132 yards and one touchdown this season. In three seasons with Montreal, he's accumulated 135 catches for 2,071 yards and 13 scores as a vital part of the team's offense.
