it was a weird play, Crowder was leaning on JR's back, JR rotated his shoulder to clear him off, but Crowder moved further away while it happened. At no point did Smith look at Crowder. When you rotate your shoulder your arm/hand have to move faster unless you bend your elbow. Had Crowder been where he was, a bent elbow there would be an ejection.
Keeping his arm straight as Crowder moved further away made the whole thing look as bad as possible. But I don't see how the end result here could possibly be seen as the intent when the video is carefully looked it.
Given his history and everything that happened earlier in the game, he'll probably get suspended. I'm just not sure it's justified because I really don't see how JR intended to hit Crowder in the face since he couldn't possibly know he was that far away.
