The NFL could hand down disciplinary action after Jalen Ramsey and Golden Tate got into a physical altercation after Sunday’s matchup featuring the Giants and Rams.
New York Giants head coach Joe Judge is coming in defense of his star WR when he told reporters that several players who witnessed the fight said Tate was defending himself after Ramsey threw a swing.
“Look, all I have to say is the account I got from a number of our players — there is a history obviously between them, and there was a punch thrown. Golden was defending himself,” Judge said, via ESPN’s Jordan Raanan. “I was told he wasn’t the one who threw the punch. And everybody involved was trying to break it up.”
Raanan reports that neither Tate nor Ramsey is expected to be suspended. Either player could be disciplined by his respective team even if the NFL does nothing, but Judge says he does not feel there is any need for the Giants to take action against Tate.
“Based on the information I was given and what I saw with my own eyes and what our players gave me, it didn’t sound like there was an immediate need for discipline,” Judge said. “But we’ll look into it if there is. Obviously we’ll always take care of our players.”
Ramsey reportedly tried to confront Tate again outside the Giants’ locker room following the on-field altercation.
