Chiefs cornerback ejected after punching Chargers tackle

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 03:43 · Archive

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Christian Roland-Wallace was ejected during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 22-6 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers after throwing a punch at Chargers offensive tackle Alex Harkey's helmet. The incident occurred as Wallace was attempting to get up after a play. Harkey had pushed Wallace into Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton after the whistle was blown.

Wallace was assessed a 15-yard penalty for the punch. Harkey's push was deemed unnecessary roughness, and the two penalties offset. Despite initially remaining in the game, the NFL offices in New York intervened and disqualified Wallace from the contest.

Wallace finished with four tackles, three recorded as solo efforts. The Daily Mail reports he is a third-year player from USC and could face further punishment from the league, including a fine or suspension.
