ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – Julius Thomas said Monday that he never intended to hurt Calais Campbell despite Arizona coach Bruce Arians calling the Pro Bowl tight end’s chop block the ”dirtiest play I’ve ever seen” in 37 years in the NFL.
Thomas said he and tackle Ryan Clady would never try to hurt anyone and the play Sunday that sent Arizona’s star defensive end out with a sprained right MCL was a matter of miscommunication, not malice.
Broncos coach John Fox passionately defended Thomas, too. He said he’s been in the league just two years less than Arians and ”it’s not the dirtiest play I’ve seen this year, let alone in 35 years.”
