Redblacks linebacker Kyries Hebert suspended for second time this season
TORONTO — Ottawa Redblacks linebacker Kyries Hebert will be watching from the sidelines again because of an illegal hit.
The CFL announced on Monday that Hebert has been suspended for two-games for hitting Montreal Alouettes receiver B.J. Cunningham to the side of his head in a “reckless manner” in Friday’s contest.
The penalty was issued after CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie held a telephone hearing with Hebert and a representative of the league’s Players’ Association.
It’s the second time this season Hebert has been suspended following a one-game ban for a hit on Calgary Stampeders receiver DaVaris Daniels in Week 3.
