Clay Matthews' late hit on Colin Kaepernick sparked a scuffle on Sunday and a war of words on Monday.
"Clay Matthews is not a dirty player, by no means," he said. "I addressed Harbaugh's comments in the team meeting and as always we'll stay above it."
Matthews conceded Sunday that the late hit "wasn't very smart."
"I had already committed to hitting the quarterback. I guess I should have figured he was going to step out of bounds," Matthews said. "But it's nothing personal. I went up to him later and was joking around with him. But not a very smart play. And that's kind of the end of that."
Said Kaepernick on Sunday: "If intimidation is your game plan, I hope you have a better one."
