Richie Incognito said "this will pass" when confronted by a Miami TV station Tuesday, two days after the guard was suspended indefinitely by the Miami Dolphins for conduct detrimental to the team.
Incognito was approached by FOX affiliate WSVN 7 while he walked out of a doctor's office in Weston, Fla.
"I'm doing well," Incognito said after being asked how he was doing.
FOX Sports reported the Dolphins and NFL Players Association were told Incognito sent teammate Jonathan Martin text messages and left him voicemails that were both threatening and racially charged in nature.
Asked what he had to say about the controversy, Incognito replied: "You know what, I'm just trying to weather the storm right now and, uh, this will pass."
When asked specifically about alleged voice mails left for Martin, Incognito said: "You know, no comment right now. We're just gonna kind of weather the storm and … that's it."
Incognito, wearing a Miami Heat cap, then got into his car and drove off.
