O'Brien's dismissal reportedly doesn't have anything to do with his injury.

O'Brien was stretchered off the field Saturday after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in the fourth quarter. He was later released from the hospital.

A starting defensive lineman, O'Brien has 63 tackles and four sacks over his career. O'Brien had registered 14 tackles for the season.
