DENVER -- Denver Broncos strong safety Kenoy Kennedy will be suspended for one game for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Miami receiver Chris Chambers, team spokesman Jim Saccomano said Tuesday.
Saccomano said Kennedy will sit out Sunday's game at Kansas City. He said the NFL would make an official announcement Tuesday afternoon. Saccomano did not know whether Kennedy would be fined.
Chambers suffered a concussion when he went up high for a pass from Jay Fiedler and was hit in the face by Kennedy in the second quarter of Miami's 24-22 victory Sunday night.
Chambers' head twisted after the hit, and he lay on the field for about five minutes before being helped off the field.
Kennedy was flagged for a personal foul and tried to apologize to Chambers as he walked off the field, but he was pushed back by Miami's Randy McMichael.
Kennedy has already been fined twice this season and received a warning from the league last week. He received a $7,500 fine for a hit on St. Louis' Isaac Bruce on opening day, then was fined $10,000 last week for a shot on San Diego's Fred McCrary.
The league warned Kennedy that future hits similar to the one on McCrary could lead to a suspension.
