England captain Owen Farrell was given a five-match ban on Tuesday after his red card for a dangerous high tackle playing for Saracens on Saturday.
The suspension means he will miss Saracens' European Cup quarter-final at Ireland's Leinster, and any further games in that finals series.
Farrell will also miss several matches in the Premiership, from which the club will be automatically relegated this season after breaching salary cap rules.
But it will leave him free to play for his country in their October and November internationals.
Farrell was sent off after 61 minutes in Saturday's defeat by Wasps after a wild, high tackle that caught replacement fly-half Charlie Atkinson, 18, in the face as the England captain tried to react to his sidestep.
After a four-hour hearing on Tuesday, independent panel chairman Mike Hamlin ruled the tackle was "unacceptable".
"It was accepted by the RFU, the player and the panel that the offending was reckless and not intentional," Hamlin said.
"This was a totally unacceptable contact with the neck/head of Charlie Atkinson as a result of a reckless tackle which had the consequences of him being knocked unconscious and sustaining a concussion.
"This resulted in the panel concluding that this was a top-end offence with an entry point of 10 matches. There were no aggravating features.
"Testimonials provided by Mark McCall, Eddie Jones and the founders of a charity with which the player works very closely were of the highest quality.
"The panel concluded that applying the off-field mitigating factors, notwithstanding his suspension four and a half years ago, the player was entitled to a reduction from 10 matches to five meaningful matches.
"The player is free to play again on October 5."
England travel to Italy in their rearranged Six Nations game at the end of October, then play a "mini" Six Nations, probably also including Georgia, in November.
England have a game against the Barbarians before the Italy match, although Farrell would have been unlikely to feature.

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets
How has net migration to UK changed?
The figure was broadly flat immediately before the Covid-19 pandemic, standing at 216,000 in the year to June 2018 and 224,000 in the year to June 2019.
It then dropped to an estimated 111,000 in the year to June 2020 when restrictions introduced during the pandemic limited travel and movement.
The total rose to 254,000 in the year to June 2021, followed by steep jumps to 634,000 in the year to June 2022 and 906,000 in the year to June 2023.
The latest available figure of 728,000 for the 12 months to June 2024 suggests levels are starting to decrease.

Types of bank fraud
1) Phishing
Fraudsters send an unsolicited email that appears to be from a financial institution or online retailer. The hoax email requests that you provide sensitive information, often by clicking on to a link leading to a fake website.
2) Smishing
The SMS equivalent of phishing. Fraudsters falsify the telephone number through “text spoofing,” so that it appears to be a genuine text from the bank.
3) Vishing
The telephone equivalent of phishing and smishing. Fraudsters may pose as bank staff, police or government officials. They may persuade the consumer to transfer money or divulge personal information.
4) SIM swap
Fraudsters duplicate the SIM of your mobile number without your knowledge or authorisation, allowing them to conduct financial transactions with your bank.
5) Identity theft
Someone illegally obtains your confidential information, through various ways, such as theft of your wallet, bank and utility bill statements, computer intrusion and social networks.
6) Prize scams
Fraudsters claiming to be authorised representatives from well-known organisations (such as Etisalat, du, Dubai Shopping Festival, Expo2020, Lulu Hypermarket etc) contact victims to tell them they have won a cash prize and request them to share confidential banking details to transfer the prize money.
