Late in the fourth quarter of the Seattle Seahawks’ 19-17 preseason loss to the Indianapolis Colts, quarterback Alex McGough threw a long ball downfield to an open David Moore. The ball was overthrown, Moore was unable to bring it in, then he took a direct shot to the head by safety Shamarko Thomas, who lowered his helmet and essentially torpedoed into him. Flags were thrown, and referee Craig Wrolstad announced that Thomas had been ejected, making him the first player tossed under the NFL’s amended helmet rules.
There are no updates on Moore’s status, but that looked nasty, it was nasty, and Colts head coach Frank Reich also had no issue with the ejection.
