Associated Press
NEW YORK — Tampa Bay right tackle Jeremy Trueblood has been fined $25,000 by the NFL for unnecessary roughness, while Tennessee defensive tackle Tony Brown was fined $20,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The NFL announced the fines on Friday.
Trueblood leveled Carolina’s Chris Gamble well after a play was over in the second quarter of the Buccaneers’ 16-6 loss on Sunday. It’s Trueblood’s fourth infraction this season after previously being fined twice for unnecessary roughness and once for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Brown was fined for poking his fingers through the facemask of Indianapolis guard Kyle DeVan after a play Sunday late in the first half of the Colts’ 27-17 victory. It was also Brown’s fourth infraction this season.
