Jets linebacker Quincy Williams was fined as a result of his hit on Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts during their preseason game last Friday.
The late hit on Hurts as he was running out of bounds will cost Williams $10,609.
Even head coach Robert Saleh did not approve of the hit, calling it “egregiously awful”.
“I talked to Quincy after the game. Egregiously awful from Quincy, and he knows that, he knows better,” Saleh said. “It’s one thing to make a mistake in a game, it’s another thing to make a mistake that leads to points, touchdowns. It’s a good drive, we’re off the field. Jalen’s a phenomenal quarterback, and to stop them, hold them to a field goal after giving up an explosive is a pretty good showing for the first drive.
Hurts was fine after the hit and eventually led the Eagles to a touchdown on that opening drive, his only action of the night. Now that the fine has been doled out, we can put this behind us and move on.
