Houston Texans linebacker Denzel Perryman's three-game suspension for repeated violation of player safety rules was reduced upon appeal to two games by the NFL on Wednesday.

Perryman's appeal was heard by James Thrash, who was jointly appointed by the league and the NFLPA. He will miss games against the Arizona Cardinals and Jacksonville Jaguars and be eligible to return to the Texans' active roster on Nov. 27.

Perryman was suspended following a helmet-to-helmet hit on Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase in the Texans' 30-27 win on Sunday.
