Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will not face discipline from the NFL for his altercation with a Buffalo Bills fan during a season-opening 41-40 loss, a league spokesman said Thursday.
“The matter has been addressed by the club and there is no further action from the league,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy wrote in a statement.
On Sunday night, Jackson was celebrating with some teammates near the front row of Highmark Stadium after he threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins late in the third quarter. The fan wearing a red Bills jersey initially hit Hopkins on the helmet before doing the same to Jackson, who immediately delivered a two-handed push that sent the fan falling backward.
The fan was ejected from the stadium Sunday night. The fan also has been “indefinitely banned from Bills and NFL stadiums,” a team official told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday.
