Greg Hardy won't face any punishment from the Cowboys. A day after Hardy's incident with a coach and teammates, his head coach, Jason Garrett, said the team won't discipline him for his behavior during Sunday's loss to the Giants.
Instead, Garrett said that he spoke with Hardy and "addressed" the issue.

The incident involving Hardy occurred in the fourth quarter after the Cowboys gave up what ended up being the game-winning kickoff return for a touchdown. As you can see below, Hardy was involved in an altercation with special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia. Later, Hardy exchanged some unpleasant looking words with Dez Bryant.
After the game, Hardy refused to speak with reporters, but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones defended his player, calling him a leader.
The Cowboys signed Hardy this past offseason. Previously, Hardy was found guilty of assault in the summer of 2014, though the charges were dismissed when Hardy appealed, as the woman who accused Hardy of throwing her on a couch covered in guns wasn't located and had reached a civil suit agreement with him. After serving his suspension, Hardy quickly made headlines by calling out Tom Brady and Brady's wife.
In his two games played this year, Hardy has three sacks.
