FLOWERY BRANCH – Falcons defensive end Kroy Biermann was fined more than $8,000 from the league office on Friday for a hit on New Orleans running back Khiry Robinson in the 31-21 loss to the Saints.
Biermann was called for grabbing Robinson’s face mask in the game.
Biermann was fined $15,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Charlie Whitehurst on Dec. 24, 2010, when Whitehurst was with Seattle.
Whitehurst, of Chattahoochee High and Clemson, now plays for Tennessee and could be active for Sunday’s game.
