Redskins TE Jeremy Sprinkle Fined over $84K for 2 Hits vs. Vikings in Week 8

Washington tight end Jeremy Sprinkle has been fined $84,231 for a pair of hits he made during Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings that the league deemed to fall into the category of unnecessary roughness, according to ESPN's John Keim.

Sprinkle was fined $56,156 for a hit to the head, which Keim notes is the heftiest fine for a single play in the NFL this season, and $28,075 on a different play.

A fifth-round pick out of Arkansas in 2017, Sprinkle is in the third year of his rookie contract.
