Report: Decision on Javon Wims discipline 'likely' to come Monday

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 11/2/20

The Chicago Bears could be without wide receiver Javon Wims for at least a little while following his actions against a New Orleans Saints player on Sunday.

Wims was kicked out of the game and now the NFL is evaluating Wims' actions for a possible suspension. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, a decision should come on Monday.

The 26-year-old punched Saints cornerback Chauncey Gardner-Johnson twice in his helmet. There was no immediate goading and Wims hit Gardner-Johnson by surprise, though they did have a few minor meetings earlier in the game.

Wims' punches stirred both benches, and it's possible that other players will be fined.
