CFL Fines Players for High Hits and Contact with Official
Najee Murray and Tyrell Richards, players for the Montreal Alouettes, have received fines for high hits during a recent CFL match against the Ottawa Redblacks. This incident occurred during Montreal's 34-13 victory over Ottawa.
Murray was penalized for a high hit on quarterback Jake Maier, while Richards was fined for a similar infraction against wide receiver Justin Hardy. Additionally, Edmonton defensive lineman Noah Taylor was fined for making contact with an official during a game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, where he received two objectionable conduct penalties, leading to his ejection.
The CFL's health, safety, and integrity department is responsible for managing disciplinary actions, including fines, although the specific amounts are not disclosed publicly.
