NEW YORK (AP) — Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan has received a two-game suspension without pay for his frightening hit against Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams on Thursday.

Adams was taken off the field on a stretcher in the third quarter after getting hit in the head during a tackle by Trevathan. The game was delayed for about five minutes while medical personnel tended to Adams.

Trevathan has three days to appeal the punishment.
