Alex Boone responded to criticism on Friday from New York Giants linebacker Jon Beason, who accused the San Francisco 49ers guard of unsportsmanlike play on Sunday night.
Beason told reporters in New York that Boone shoved him in the back, causing a head-on collision with Carlos Hyde. Beason suffered a concussion on the first-quarter play and did not return to the game.
Neither Boone nor Hyde was flagged for their actions, but the NFL fined Hyde on Friday for initiating contact with the crown of his helmet.
“I’m sorry he feels that way,” Boone said of Beason’s comments.
