Minkah Fitzpatrick and Five Others Fined for Safety Violations in NFL Week 6
The NFL has announced that Minkah Fitzpatrick, a safety for the Jets, was fined for a hit on KC Concepcion during the Jets' Week 5 victory over the Browns. This incident resulted in a concussion for Concepcion, who has since cleared the concussion protocol and is expected to play against the Ravens in Week 6.
Fitzpatrick faces a fine of $17,911 for the hit, in addition to another fine of $11,941 for a facemask tackle on Concepcion earlier in the game. Other players fined include Colts linebacker Austin Ajiake and 49ers safety Malik Mustapha for similar infractions, with fines of $5,583 and $6,998 respectively.
Additionally, Ravens defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike, Lions defensive end D.J. Wonnum, and Titans cornerback Micah Robinson were fined for hip-drop tackles, with fines ranging from $5,583 to $17,911. This marks the first infraction for each of these players, and those who receive three fines for specific player safety violations may face a one-game suspension.
