Browns’ Harrison fined for sideline skirmish vs. Chiefs
Browns safety Ronnie Harrison was fined $12,128 by the NFL for unsportsmanlike conduct after he shoved Kansas City assistant coach Greg Lewis during a skirmish in last week’s season opener.
Harrison was ejected early in Cleveland’s 33-29 loss for his aggressive action toward Lewis, who had rushed over to help Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire after he was tackled along Kansas
City’s sideline.
Lewis first pushed Harrison, who retaliated with a hard, one-handed shot to the coach’s neck area, tilting his headset.
Lewis was not fined for the incident.
On Sept. 17, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said teams received a memo from the league about sideline conduct.
Earlier in the week, Browns center and NFLPA President JC Tretter said he felt Lewis should face some discipline.
