I was just trying to make a play, Wesley told reporters after the game. You can check my record. . Ive never really tried to hurt anybody. Ive never tried to take a cheap shot on anybody.
Despite Wesleys claims, the video replay clearly shows unnecessary roughness as he drives his left shoulder and elbow into Smiths upper body.
The hit came late in the second quarter, and Smith never returned to the game. The Panthers went on to defeat the Bucs 28 21.
