Giants rookie receiver Kadarius Toney admittedly let his emotions take over when he took a swing at Cowboys safety Damontae Kazee in Sunday’s 44-20 loss to Cowboys.
After he was ejected from the game in the fourth quarter, Toney apologized in a tweet on Monday morning.
“Wanna take the time out to apologize to the entire organization, Owners, My Teammates and the entire #BigBlue,” he wrote, adding a blue heart emoji. “Your emotions just can get the best of you sometimes…..No Excuses just action.”
The incident will be evaluated by the NFL, but a fine is considered more likely than a suspension.
After chewing Toney out on the sideline, Giants head coach Joe Judge said Toney’s actions will not be “condoned” or “accepted.”
The University of Florida product was having a breakout game with 10 catches for 189 yards before he was tossed.
Sunday’s incident is the second time Toney made headlines this season for on-field drama.
Last month, he appeared to have tension with Judge on the sidelines during a loss to Washington — and later shared a cryptic message to Instagram that seemingly expressed issue with his role in New York.
Toney later cleared the air on Twitter and claimed all was “good over here” with the Giants.
