INDIANAPOLIS – Indianapolis Colts linebacker Erik Walden has yet to talk about his ejection from Sunday’s game, but coach Chuck Pagano said he doesn’t believe Walden will be suspended.

Walden was ejected in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals after he swiped down to push head linesman Bruce Stritesky’s arm off of him.

Under Section 3 "unsportsmanlike conduct" of the NFL rulebook, it states that any unnecessary physical contact with a game official may result in disqualification and discipline from the commissioner.

“It is what it is, the rules are the rules,” Pagano said Monday.

Walden had already left the locker room before the media arrived after the game Sunday and Pagano gave the players Monday off.

Walden was suspended for a game last season for head butting a helmet-less Delanie Walker in a game against Tennessee.
