The one-game suspension for Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi was upheld by appeals officer James Thrash on Wednesday, the NFL announced.
Thrash, however, rescinded Ogujobi's fine of $10,527.
Ogunjobi had been disciplined for shoving Mason Rudolph from behind during last Thursday night's game after Browns teammate Myles Garrett had hit the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback on top of his head with his helmet.
The NFL said that rulings on the appeals by Garrett, of his indefinite suspension, and the Steelers' Maurkice Pouncey, of his three-game suspension for kicking and punching Garrett, will be issued later in the week.
