The Arizona Cardinals fined Jonathan Gannon $100,000 for his interaction with Emari Demercado that included the head coach apparently hitting the player, ESPN and NFL Network reported Tuesday.
Gannon will face no further discipline, per the reports.
'We have been in contact with the NFLPA, and the club which addressed the matter. There is no further action from the league,' a league spokesperson said in a statement to NFL Network.
Demercado dropped the football in celebration before crossing the goal line on what would have been a 72-yard touchdown run Sunday in a game Arizona eventually lost 22-21 to the Tennessee Titans.
Cameras caught Gannon chewing out Demercado on the sideline while offensive lineman Paris Johnson Jr. consoled his teammate. As Gannon turned to leave, he swung his hand and connected with Demercado's right arm.
Gannon issued private and public apologies Monday.
'I just told them, I kind of let the moment of what happened get the better of me there,' Gannon said.
Gannon, 42, is in his third year as the Cardinals' head coach. They have yet to record a winning season under Gannon and fell to 2-3 and last place in the NFC West with the loss to previously winless Tennessee.
