Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0tight end\u00a0Pat Freiermuth\u00a0had his appeal call with\u00a0Los Angeles Chargers\u00a0safety\u00a0Derwin James\u00a0regarding his suspension for a dirty hit. James\u2019 appeal was ultimately upheld following the call. However, Freiermuth revealed in the appeal call that he did not think the hit was dirty.<\/span><\/p>\n

BREAKING NEWS: Pat Freiermuth was on the appeal call and said he didn’t think the Derwin James hit was dirty\u00a0#PMSLive<\/a>\u00a0https:\/\/t.co\/Hwco3JkVae<\/a>\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/07VZVdKLaj<\/a><\/p>\n

The Chargers star safety was suspended for this week\u2019s game against the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0for what the league called a \u2018dirty hit\u2019 on Freiermuth. James announced earlier in the week that he would be appealing this suspension, and despite the Steelers tight end coming to his defense, the suspension will stand. Here is the hit that caused the suspension:<\/span><\/p>\n

BREAKING:\u00a0#Steelers<\/a>\u00a0Pat Freiermuth was on the appeal call, stating that he did not consider Derwin James’ hit on him to be dirty.<\/p>\n

Despite this, the suspension was upheld, and James will still miss a game for the\u00a0#Chargers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Derwin James Career<\/h2>\n

James has been one of the top safeties in the league for most of his career, and has been a crucial component to the Los Angeles defense. He has amounted to 518 total tackles, 12.5 sacks, and eight interceptions in his career, but he has also been known for questionable hits on players.<\/p>\n

While many may argue that if he is being suspended now, the league should have punished him earlier for some of the more brutal hits he has made. The Chargers will officially play the undefeated Chiefs this Sunday without their superstar or defense, along with many other key players missing playing time with injuries.<\/p>\n
