Saskatchewan Roughriders defensive lineman Pete Robertson has been slapped with a one-game suspension following a head-butting incident during the Labour Day Classic.
The Canadian Football League (CFL) made the announcement on Monday.
The suspension stems from a late-game incident that saw Robertson draw an unnecessary roughness penalty that almost cost the Riders dearly.
With four minutes left in the Labour Day Classic – Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros threw an incomplete pass and the play was finished.
Robertson proceeded to drive his helmet into Collaros, knocking him to the ground.
Robertson is set to miss the Sept. 9 Banjo Bowl in Winnipeg due to the suspension.
