Cleveland Browns defensive linemen criticized San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings following their confrontation Sunday afternoon.
Shelby Harris and Jennings had a heated moment when Browns defensive tackle Maliek Collins was carted off the field with an injury. Harris was asked what the uproar with Jennings was about, and he referenced the wide receiver’s fight with a Carolina Panthers player last week.

“It’s a hoe and I want it to be known,” Harris told reporters via WEWS-TV. “I understand why they punched him in the balls. He said some things you shouldn’t say to another man, ever. But I don’t respect him because you say things and then run after your offensive line. That’s some s–t.”
Harris wasn’t the only one to criticize Jennings.
Browns star Myles Garrett was also taken aback by some of Jennings’ on-field comments.
“I can’t speak to how he was raised, but if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything to anyone,” Garrett said, via ESPN. “So, he had a lot to say that was degrading and derogatory toward some of our players. And I was just trying to separate everyone. And I tried to reach out and ask what the problem was, and then he started coming up to me and, I mean, some guys just act like that.

“I don’t feel like that belongs in the game. But hey, if that works for him and them, then more power to him. But I’m just trying to keep my guys focused on the game and not worried about things outside of the game because we’re focused on what’s on the field.”
Jennings reportedly made comments about players’ wives and children.
He was involved in an incident with Panthers safety Tre’von Moehrig late in last Monday’s game. Jennings appeared to hit Moehrig in the groin before the defensive back threw a punch. Moehrig was fined and suspended for the incident. Jennings was only fined.
