CHARGERS: Castillo is fine with no fine on Jets’ Jones
By MIKE SULLIVAN – Staff Writer | ∞
SAN DIEGO —- New York Jets running back Thomas Jones wasn’t fined for his low block on Luis Castillo during Monday night’s game, and Castillo has no problem with the NFL office’s decision.
“It’s part of the game,” Castillo said Friday. “Even if I had been engaged with the (offensive) tackle, it would have been completely accidental.”
The play drew lots of attention because it occurred on “Monday Night Football” and was replayed over and over. That meant that millions of people saw Castillo’s left knee buckle after being hit by Jones’ helmet, and feared that the Chargers’ defensive end had suffered a major injury.
But Castillo returned later in the game. Four days later, he emphasized that he’s thankful to have avoided a major injury.
“I’ve never been mad about this,” he said. “I’ve been relieved.”
