Tennessee Titans linebacker David Bass has been fined $17,363 for his illegal hit on New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees on Sunday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jim Wyatt of Titans Online confirmed the report, and added Bass plans to appeal the punishment.
The hit ultimately required Brees to receive stitches in his jaw, per Schefter.
Bass, 25, has registered six tackles and an interception this season. In two-and-a-half NFL seasons between the Chicago Bears and Titans, he's accumulated 39 tackles, four sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble.
