The NFL has fined Minkah Fitzpatrick and four other players for player safety fouls in Week 6, with Fitzpatrick set to appeal his $17,911 fine for a concussion-inducing hit on KC Concepcion. Concepcion, who has cleared concussion protocol, is scheduled to play against the Ravens in Week 6. Fitzpatrick was also fined $11,941 for tackling Concepcion by the facemask.
Other fined players include Colts linebacker Austin Ajiake, 49ers safety Malik Mustapha, and Ravens defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike, all for hip-drop tackles. These fines are the first for each player and could lead to suspensions if they accumulate three fines for player safety violations.
