NEW YORK (AP) -- The NFL says it is reviewing the sideline incident in which a New York Jets' coach tripped a Miami Dolphins player during Sunday's game.

A Jets spokesman says Monday that the team also is reviewing the matter.

Dolphins cornerback Nolan Carroll was tripped by Jets' strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi on the sideline while covering a punt in the third quarter of Miami's 10-6 victory Sunday.

The rookie fell to the turf while running down the sideline, and the coach later apologized for interfering with Carroll.

Alosi could face discipline from the Jets and from the NFL.
