Bengals' A.J. Green won't be suspended for punching Jaguars' Jalen Ramsey

Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Wide receiver A.J. Green and cornerback Jalen Ramsey avoided NFL suspensions Monday despite fighting in Sunday's game.

League sources told NFL.com and ESPN that the duo avoided suspensions despite the scuffle during the Jacksonville Jaguars' 23-7 win against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Green and Ramsey got into it with 10 seconds left in the second quarter. Green ran over to Ramsey and touched him with his hand when the Bengals were on offense. Ramsey then pushed Green to the ground. Green then ran up behind the cornerback and pulled him to the ground by his neck. Green then threw several punches at Ramsey's helmet, before both teams joined in the scuffle. Both players were ejected from the contest.

"He came up to me [saying] some disrespectful stuff," Ramsey told reporters after the game, according to ABC 47. "The game is over with. You still made because I was locking you up? Alright. Go sleep on that. I ain't trying to hear that after the game."

Green had his worst game of the season in the loss, catching just one pass for six yards. He now has 578 yards and four touchdowns on 39 catches this season.

The six-time Pro Bowl selection apologized to his teammates for the fight.

"That's not football," Green told the team website. "I could come at you and cut you every play. Cut you in the knees. I'm not going to because it's a cheap shot. As a man, that's disrespectful...It's a respect thing."

"He got under my skin. I can't let that happen. I'm an ultimate pro...I can't put myself in that position and I can't to that to my teammates."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans wasn't so lucky Monday. He received a letter from the NFL, notifying him of a one-game ban.

The Bengals face the Tennessee Titans at 1 p.m. Sunday at LP Field in Nashville.
