Suh stomped on the arm of Green Bay guard Evan Dietrich-Smith in the third quarter of the Lions' 27-15 loss and was ejected for kicking.
Before stomping Dietrich-Smith, Suh pushed his head into the turf while Dietrich-Smith was on the ground.
Suh's suspension will cost him $164,000, or two game checks. He can appeal the suspension within three business days, and the NFL said an expedited appeal hearing would be held this week in advance of the Week 13 schedule.
If Suh's suspension stands, he will miss games against the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings and would be reinstated Dec. 12.
Suh called commissioner Roger Goodell on Sunday night to apologize for his behavior during Detroit's loss to Green Bay, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
This month, the 2010 Defensive Rookie of the Year requested a meeting with Goodell to discuss his play after drawing several penalties. Suh said he had a better understanding of the rules after meeting with the commissioner.
The Lions are expected to issue the maximum $25,000 fine allowable under the collective bargaining agreement for a player being ejected. Team president Tom Lewand has been in communication with league officials. The Lions also have to pay a $50,000 fine because team members will have been fined more than $100,000 this season.
In 2006, the league suspended Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth for five games for swiping his cleats across the head of helmetless Dallas center Andre Gurode.
