Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph denied directing a racial slur at Browns defensive end Myles Garrett in the brawl that occurred at the end of the Week 11 game between the Steelers and Browns.
During his appeal hearing with the NFL on Wednesday, Garrett accused Rudolph of using a racial slur, ESPN's Josina Anderson and Adam Schefter reported. After the NFL "found no such evidence" of the slur, Garrett released a statement saying he "knew what he heard."
"I think any human would be in one day, when your integrity's attacked and something's said about you that's totally untrue," Rudolph said Sunday about the accusation.
