Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards has been fined $16,883 for an unpenalized hip-drop tackle on Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday.
Mixon will be sidelined for Week 3 with an ankle injury, which he suffered after Edwards tackled him in the third quarter of the Bears' Week 2 loss last Sunday.
The fine is part of the NFL's ongoing efforts to crack down on the newly-banned tackle. New York Giants cornerback Adoree' Jackson and linebacker Darius Muasau were both fined for unpenalized hip-drop tackles in Week 1.
