It has now been confirmed that S Jordan Whitehead has been fined $26,739 for unnecessary roughness for a hit on Browns QB Baker Mayfield. Many within the media and league expected the NFL to hand down a fine before tomorrow’s game.

Whitehead has the option to appeal the fine to have it reduced. As it equals almost an entire game check for him. It is a tough lesson for a rookie defensive back in a game that continually reaches farther and farther to protect what the NFL deems to be the most critical player in today’s game.
