Mike Tomlin On Mason Rudolph’s Culpability: ‘He Got Fined $50,000 For Essentially Getting Beat Up’

On the same day that the league office announced that Cleveland Browns defensive lineman Myles Garrett would be reinstated from an indefinite suspension handed to him for spamming a helmet onto the unprotected head of another player, that other player also had his $50,000 fine upheld, which was given to him for the role he played in the events leading up to his being bludgeoned with his own protective equipment.

That other player with be Mason Rudolph of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and while he is out thousands of dollars, his greater concern stemming from all of this is the fact that Garrett has gone on to charge the two-year professional with the allegation of using a racial epithet.
