Cleveland Browns safety Rodney McLeod is unfortunately out of the season with an injury suffered in Sunday’s 13-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The paycheck from the final game he’ll play in this season is dinged up, too.
Per the NFL’s weekly release, McLeod has been fined $7,319 for this hit on Steelers WR/PR Calvin Austin III that occurred in the second quarter of last weekend’s game. McLeod, No. 26 in the clip below, hit Austin high to take him to the ground. He was not flagged for this collision but given the league’s fine, it’s an admission that he should’ve been.
