Richie Incognito is not expected to be punished by the NFL for allegedly using racial slurs in the Buffalo Bills’ wild-card playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a report.
Buffalo Bills reporter Vic Carucci shared the news about Incognito via Twitter on Monday:
#NFL investigation into exchange between #Bills OG Richie Incognito & #Jaguars DE Yannick Ngakoue has concluded & Incognito is not expected to be punished, per league source. He is at the Pro Bowl & expected to address the matter with media there.

Contrary to Carucci’s report, an NFL spokesperson says the investigation is not over.
#NFL spokesman says league's investigation into Richie Incognito playoff-game exchange is "not done" and that the matter "remains under review."

After the Bills-Jaguars playoff game, Jacksonville Pro Bowl DE Yannick Ngakoue accused Incognito of using racial slurs against him during the game. Buffalo’s GM thought it was all a misunderstanding.
Incognito has a prior history of alleged bullying and using racial slurs, so this wasn’t anything new. Interestingly, the two players will be teammates for the AFC at the Pro Bowl.
