    The NFL is reviewing Ndamukong Suh’s low block on Minnesota Vikings center John Sullivan in Sunday’s season opener, and Ray Anderson, the league’s executive vice president of football operations, said a suspension has not been ruled out as possible punishment.

    “All options are on the table with a repeat offender,â€￾ Anderson said by phone this morning. “You can honestly say it’s being reviewed for either a fine and/or a suspension, given his repeat-offender status.â€￾

    Suh was fined five times in his first three NFL seasons and suspended for stomping on the arm of Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith in a Thanksgiving incident in 2011.

    Last year, he was fined $30,000 for kicking Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin on Thanksgiving. As a rookie, he was fined three times, twice for hits on quarterbacks Jake Delhomme ($7,500) and Jay Cutler ($15,000) and once for using an opponent for leverage on a field goal ($5,000). And in 2011, he was fined for a preseason hit on Andy Dalton ($20,000).
