Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh won't face discipline for making contact with the head of Redskins running back Alfred Morris on Sunday.

NFL VP of communications Mike Signora told FOX Sports NFL Insider Mike Garafolo in an email: "The play was reviewed by the senior football operations staff and there will be no action taken. While there was contact between the players, Suh's action was not deemed a kick."

Late in the second quarter, Morris ran for 9 yards and was tackled by Suh. As Suh got up, his leg made contact with Morris's helmet, knocking it off.

Washington coach Jay Gruden said he didn't see anything by Suh that warranted disciplinary action.

"Sometimes things happen in the course of a football game that look like they're dirty, but it's just part of the game," Gruden said. "I've got a lot of respect for that football team and that staff. They beat us, so I'm not going to make any accusations."

The incident Sunday drew national attention because Suh, who was making his Dolphins debut, is regarded as one of the NFL's dirtiest players.

He lost $420,669 in fines and suspensions for on-field misbehavior while with the Detroit Lions, and was nearly suspended for their playoff game at Dallas last season.
