The suspension is in for Saskatchewan Roughriders defensive lineman Garrett Marino. The CFL announced on Monday, three incidents from Friday’s game have resulted in a four game suspension for Marino.

It is the league’s most severe total discipline ever imposed for in-game behaviour during one game.

In a league statement explained the three incidents that caused the suspension.

• A two-game suspension for Marino’s dangerous and reckless low hit on Ottawa quarterback Jeremiah Masoli on play #123, which resulted in serious injury and Marino’s ejection from the game, and for Marino’s subsequent celebration;
• A one-game suspension for verbal comments Marino made about Masoli’s heritage during the game, which clearly violates our Code of Conduct.
• A one-game suspension for Marino’s illegal and reckless tackle of an Ottawa offensive lineman on a previous play.

Marino was ejected from the game on Friday following the low hit to Masoli.

The Redblacks QB is expected to be out 10-12 weeks.
