New York Jets wide receiver Randall Cobb was fined $13,889, NFL Network reported Saturday, for an illegal hit on New York Giants cornerback Bobby McCain during a preseason game last week.
Cobb connected with McCain on a blindside block after New York quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed a pass to tight end Tyler Conklin. McCain entered concussion protocol after the hit that earned Cobb a penalty.
The play sparked an on-field rift between Rodgers and Giants linebacker Jihad Ward, who shoved Rodgers a few plays following Cobb’s hit.
The Giants and Jets will face each other during the regular season Oct. 29.
