Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph has decided to not take legal action against Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett for the latter's actions during Thursday night's brawl, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Rudolph's agent said Friday that "all legal options were on the table" after Garrett pulled off the signal-caller's helmet and hit him in the head with it.

The NFL announced Friday that Garrett is suspended at least for the remainder of the season. Cleveland defensive end Larry Ogunjobi and Pittsburgh center Maurkice Pouncey received one- and three-game suspensions, respectively.

Rudolph is expected to be fined for his role in the fight, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
