Referee Roy Ellison Fined, Reinstated After Incident with Jerry Hughes

Veteran official Roy Ellison was fined and reinstated by the NFL on Friday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo.

Ellison had been placed on administrative leave after Buffalo Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes alleged that he used derogatory language toward him following Buffalo's 21-17 road loss to the Miami Dolphins two weeks ago.

The NFL fined Ellison one game check worth $9,300, but he will be part of the crew officiating the game between the Tennessee Titans and New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sunday.
