Houston Texans DE Antonio Smith swings helmet at Richie Incognito’s head
By Josh Sanchez
Houston Texans defensive end Antonio Smith could be in a world of trouble after FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer released a video on Monday afternoon that shows Smith ripping off the helmet of Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito.
After Smith ripped off Incognito’s helmet, he swung the helmet at the Dolphins lineman’s head and narrowly missed. You can see the video here.
Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin alerted the NFL and they are investigating the matter.
Glazer, who is one of the most dialed in reporters in the game, believes that Smith could be facing a multi-game suspension.
“I think it’ll be more than a fine,” stated Glazer. “I think we’re looking at a suspension.”
The NFL could also fine Smith as the helmet cannot be used as a weapon, by rule.
It was just last season that Smith was fined for kicking Incognito when he was on the ground, so there is clearly a history between the two men.
