Rangi Chase has been charged with making a dangerous throw during Salford Red Devils' win over Huddersfield Giants last week.
The RFL has charged the half-back with a Group E offence for his tackle of Brett Ferres, which ruled the forward out of the Giants' defeat to Hull Kingston Rovers earlier through injury.
The offence carries a ban of between four and eight matches, with a hearing set to take place on Wednesday to determine the severity of the punishment.
Salford are up to third in the Super League table after beating Wigan Warriors earlier.
