Redskins' Jeremy Sprinkle fined more than $84K for flags

Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle was fined a total of $84,231 for two separate unnecessary roughness calls in last week's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

The fine is worth more than two game checks for Sprinkle, who is making $645,000 this season.

Sprinkle was fined $56,156 for the first unnecessary roughness call and $28,075 for the second. One of the calls was for lowering his helmet on a hit delivered to Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes on the second play of the third quarter.

Rhodes was evaluated for a concussion after the play.
