New York Jets safety Jamal Adams said he was only joking around when he made a flying tackle on the mascot of his AFC East rivals, the New England Patriots, during Wednesday's Pro Bowl Skills Challenge.
However, ESPN reported that the person inside the Pat Patriot costume had to be hospitalized Thursday morning.
"He was running around and everybody was booing him,” Adams told ESPN. “So I said, ‘You know what? Let me go tackle him.’ I didn’t hit him that hard, man. All jokes aside, I didn’t hit him that hard ... but they did tell me he’s in the hospital."
