The NFL fined Los Angeles Rams safety Blake Countess $24,309 for his helmet-to-helmet hit on New Orleans Saints tight end Coby Fleener in last Sunday's game.
Countess drilled Fleener with the hit in the fourth quarter and drew an unnecessary roughness penalty because Fleener was a defenseless receiver when Countess made the hit.
Fleener later left the game due to a concussion, although he wasn't immediately tested for the brain injury after the play and returned to the field against before being tested.
Fleener missed practice all week, and the Saints ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.
