Report: No Punishment Expected for Richie Incognito After Investigation Into Use of Racial Slur

The NFL is not expected to punish Bills offensive lineman Richie Incognito after investigating if he directed a racial slur at Jaguars defensive lineman Yannick Ngakoue during the wild-card matchup between the teams, Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News reports.

According to Carucci, Incognito is expected to address the situation with media at the Pro Bowl.

After Jacksonville picked up a 10-3 victory over Buffalo in a wild-card game this postseason, Ngakoue accused Incognito of "using some weak racist slurs" on Twitter.

Incognito's teammate and fellow offensive lineman Dion Dawkins defended Incognito, tweeting, "i was next to my guy the entire game and the entire season and believe me, if he was saying some racist stuff I would have been the first to let him know that was out of line.
