NFL Rescinds $7,500 Fine Against Giants DE Tuck

NEW YORK (AP) ― The NFL has rescinded a $7,500 fine against New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck for a hit on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Brooks Bollinger last weekend.

The NFL's vice president of operations called Tuck yesterday to inform him of the change, according to an e-mail from the team.

Tuck had insisted the hit was legal and Giants coach Tom Coughlin backed him up on Monday.

Tuck hit Bollinger in the midsection as the quarterback released a pass and his momentum carried both to the ground on the third-down play in the fourth quarter. Tuck was penalized for roughing the passer.

The league originally determined that Tuck had unnecessarily driven Bollinger to the ground and issued the fine earlier on Friday.
