NFL fans witnessed a scary scene during Sunday's action when Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Uchenna Nwosu hit Buffalo Bills running back Taiwan Jones in the head with a tackle after the latter lost his helmet.
Nwosu apologized for his involvement Monday.
"I want to take another opportunity to apologize to Taiwan Jones for yesterday's hit," he said in a statement to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. "The game is rough but my intention is never to hurt anyone. The ref hadn't blown the whistle to call the play dead and I didn't realize that his helmet had come off.
