DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - The NFL says it will take no action against Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh after he dislodged an opponent's helmet Sunday at Washington.

The contact by Suh following a play was determined not to be a kick, the league said Monday following a review.

Suh tackled Redskins running back Alfred Morris, and when Suh rose, his right leg made contact with Morris' helmet, which came off.

The incident 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.
