Overview

  • Social and broadcast video shows Gannon appearing to strike or bump Demercado after a fourth-quarter fumble, though the footage does not clearly capture the full contact.
  • Jonathan Gannon apologized to Demercado and the team, calling his reaction a mistake and saying he let the moment get the better of him.
  • Demercado will not face additional team discipline, and he told reporters he made a mistake on the play.
  • The NFLPA told USA TODAY it is looking into the incident, and the NFL confirmed it is aware of the situation.
  • Demercado’s fumble nullified a potential long touchdown in a game the Cardinals lost 22-21 to the Titans, marking Arizona’s third straight defeat.
