During a press conference this week, Mac Jones defending himself from criticism, saying “nothing was intentional” and that he simply got up and went back to his team in the huddle.
“Sauce is one of the best corners in the NFL. I have a lot of respect for him. On that play, nothing was intentional. I just got up and went back to the huddle, and that’s it,” Jones said according to Pro Football Talk.
The league is currently investigating the alleged incident and could face a fine or a suspension if the league deems that the incident is worthy of such punishment. The NFL announces its fines on Saturday, but there’s always a chance that the decision is reported before then.
