Browns' KC Concepcion backs Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick after controversial hit
KC Concepcion agrees with Minkah Fitzpatrick's assessment of the hit that left him with a concussion during their Week 5 matchup.
Cleveland Browns receiver KC Concepcion has come to the defense of New York Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick following a controversial hit during a recent game. The incident, which drew a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty and ended Concepcion's afternoon, sparked debate about whether the play crossed the line. However, Concepcion has expressed that he did not view the collision as a dirty play, aligning with Fitzpatrick's explanation of what happened.
The Jets safety has received support from the player he hit and has continued to defend his actions. Cleveland coach Todd Monken also defended Fitzpatrick's character, describing the collision as an unfortunate bang-bang play rather than an intentional attempt to injure someone. The NFL fined Fitzpatrick for the hit, and he plans to appeal the decision.
