Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett was fined $17,363 for a hit on Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith in the first quarter of the teams’ preseason game last week.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport first reported the news on Friday.
Bennett hit Smith on the Chiefs’ first offensive play of the game, drawing a roughing the passer flag. The fine came for hitting Smith in the head and neck.
Kansas City would eventually go on to win the game 14-13.
