The NFL will not suspend defensive end Jerry Hughes for confronting an official in the tunnel after Sunday’s game, ESPN reports.
Hughes still could face a fine.
The league placed umpire Roy Ellison on administrative leave Tuesday as it investigates the incident.
Hughes accused Ellison of calling him a vulgar name. Hughes is seen on video yelling at Ellison while being restrained by what appears to be a team employee.
In 12 games this season, Hughes has six sacks, 31 tackles and three forced fumbles.
