Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans' one-game suspension without pay was upheld by appeals officer James Thrash, the NFL announced Wednesday.
Evans will miss the Buccaneers' home opener Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
Evans' one-game suspension will cost him $62,222. His base salary is $1.12 million after he restructured his contract during the offseason.
The wide receiver was suspended Monday for his role in Sunday's altercation with New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore. He appealed the suspension and the hearing before Thrash, who is jointly appointed by both the NFL and the NFL Players Association, was held Tuesday.
