McNary not fined for unnecessary roughness on Walker

Colts linebacker Josh McNary was not fined for his hit on Titans tight end Delanie Walker last Sunday that resulted in an unnecessary roughness call and negated an interception by Colts cornerback Patrick Robinson.

Walker was helped off the field after being blindsided by McNary while running a pass route late in the third quarter. He returned to the game a few plays later and caught a touchdown pass to finish the drive.

Via social media, McNary offered an apology to Walker earlier this week, writing that he believed the ball was coming Walker’s direction and that it was too late to stop his momentum by the time he realized it wasn’t. The call was costly to the Colts at the time, but they won the game and McNary avoided a fine.

Colts linebacker Akeem Ayers was also not fined for his unnecessary roughness penalty earlier in the game.
