NFL: Titans lineman ejected after sideline punch


Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Officials have ejected Tennessee defensive tackle Jason Jones for throwing a punch during a scrum on the Texans' sideline during the fourth quarter against Houston.

Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck had just stopped Steve Slaton for no gain near the Texans' bench Sunday when players from both teams started pushing and shoving.

Officials slapped Texans receiver David Anderson with a personal foul, but referee Walt Coleman said Jones had thrown a punch and was ejected.

The second-year player went to the Titans sideline and got a high-five from a teammate deactivated for the game. He then went to the locker room to cheers from fans as he waved them on.
