Finally, we have a little bit of sanity in the Mason Rudolph – Myles Garrett fiasco.
Steelers QB Rudolph was attacked by Garrett during the Thursday Night Football game between the Browns and the Steelers, when Garrett ripped off Rudolph’s helmet and then struck him in the head with it.
Everyone lost their minds. Garrett was suspended indefinitely by the NFL. One of his teammates and a Steelers player also received suspensions, though Rudolph was not punished for his involvement in the initial skirmish.
The violence of the attack had some people suggesting that Rudolph should press charges against Garrett for the incident.
It appears, however, that he’ll leave it with the NFL to punish Garrett for the attack.
“Rudolph will not seek any legal action, considering it a NFL-only matter,” insider Ian Rapoport said on NFL Total Access.
Rapoport also had an explanation as to why Rudolph wasn’t punished for his involvement.
“His actions did not rise to the level of being suspended because if you look at just what he did trying to get Garrett’s helmet off kind of escalated the incident, but didn’t cause any damage like some of the other acts did.”
