Olivier Vernon today said he has been fined by the NFL for his low hit on Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota. Vernon also said he is appealing.
Vernon declined to say how much the fine was for. "A decent amount," he said.
The NFL fine schedule dictates that a player be fined $17,363 for roughing the passer which is what was called on Vernon in the second quarter of the game. That was the play Mariota was hurt on.
Interestingly, Vernon was called for two roughing the passer penalties so it's possible his fine is for the second offense, which would be $34,728.
