Allen Lazard is ready to fight back against the NFL if he is fined for his relatively tame finger guns celebration.
The Jets receiver was penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct Sunday after he made a 12-yard catch and then spun the ball and “fired” his hands.
Allen Lazard was given a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct for firing his hands like guns after a reception during the Jets’ Week 4 loss to the Broncos.“I’ve gotten zero clarification from the NFL,” Lazard said before Wednesday’s practice. “Now, my coaches have come up and talked to me individually. It’s very unfortunate that I’m the victim of the situation. But it is what it is. It’s part of the NFL, and a part of the entertainment factor.
To Lazard’s point, it is not illegal to drive with one hand on the steering wheel, but it could play a factor in a traffic stop for failure to control a vehicle. Head coach Robert Saleh said Rodgers is “getting treatment” but would practice fully and he is “not concerned” about his quarterback’s availability.DT Leki Fotu returned to practice and has three weeks to be activated off of injured reserve or he must be shut down for the season. He was injured during the middle of training camp.
