Friday news dumps are now Saturday news dumps, at least as far as the NFL is concerned. A couple of fines were just reported stemming from last week’s game between the Panthers and the Redskins.
First up, wide receiver/kick returner DeAndrew White has been fined $28,075 for his unnecessary roughness penalty that knocked Washington return specialist Trey Quinn out of the game.
Here’s a look at the hit in question.

Clearly a case of assault.
In related news, Redskins linebacker Ryan Anderson was fined the exact same amount for the head shot he gave to tight end Greg Olsen that knocked him unconscious and out of the game.
#Redskins LB Ryan Anderson was fined $28,075 for unnecessary roughness — that hit that gave #Panthers TE Greg Olsen a concussion and got Anderson ejected last week.

Olsen is still in the concussion protocol and has been ruled out for tomorrow’s game against the Falcons.
