Three Miami Dolphins players received fines from the NFL for unnecessary roughness violations in a Week 3 loss against the Seattle Seahawks, the league announced Saturday.
Linebacker Duke Riley received a $16,883 fine for a blindside block, fullback Alec Ingold was docked $11,817 for a low block, and cornerback Kader Kohou was fined $5,528 for a facemask. Riley and Kohou were each penalized 15 yards for their violations.
Ingold’s block didn’t draw a flag and happened on the play that resulted in a rib injury for Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson.
