The NFL has fined Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith $35,822 for two violations committed during the team's matchup against the Buffalo Bills, according to Yahoo Sports.
One infraction cited was a facemask penalty on Bills quarterback Josh Allen. The second was for a hit on a defenseless player, a category of foul the league polices closely to protect players from unnecessary head and neck injuries.
Smith has established himself as one of the more disruptive linebackers in the league, and fines for aggressive, borderline hits are not uncommon for players who patrol the middle of the field at his level of intensity. The league did not announce any additional disciplinary action beyond the financial penalty, per Yahoo Sports.
