IRVING, Texas (AP) — The NFL has docked Dallas Cowboys left tackle Flozell Adams $50,000 for shoving New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck in the back, a person familiar with the fine told The Associated Press.
Adams did not receive a suspension, said the person, who requested anonymity on Wednesday because the punishment had not yet been announced by the league.
Adams already has been fined $25,000 for incidents in three other games this season, including $12,500 stemming from Dallas' first meeting with New York in September, when Adams tripped Tuck.
As a repeat offender, and with a history of tangling with Tuck, there was thought that Adams could be forced to sit out a game.
