Cincinnati Bengals safety George Iloka won't be serving his one-game suspension after all.
Iloka had his ban reduced to a $36,464.50 after an appeal, the NFL announced Wednesday.
Iloka will be able to play in the Bengals' game Sunday at the Chicago Bears.
The punishment stemmed from a fourth-quarter helmet-to-helmet hit on Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown in the Bengals' 23-20 loss. Brown held onto a touchdown pass despite the hit, tying the game at 20-20.
Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster also was suspended one game for a hit on Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict, but his punishment was upheld on appeal.
