Falcons defensive line coach and former Jets linebacker and coach Bryan Cox issued an apology Sunday after getting into an altercation with another team's scout last week at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
Cox reportedly shoved an Arizona Cardinals scout on Friday night in a disagreement concerning access to a draft prospect rookie during the interview process.
"I intend to apologize to the young man for the incident," Cox said in a statement. "It shouldn't have happened."
The Falcons reportedly were meeting with a player when their allotted time expired, and Cox became angry and pushed the Cardinals scout, who expected to bring the player to Arizona's interview room.
