Krull’s offense was blindside block in the second quarter of a 28-14 win over the Panthers in Week 8. This marks the tight end’s first fine of the season.
Krull finished the game with two catches for 18 yards. Krull has eight receptions for 75 yards in four appearances this season.
Carolina guard Damien Lewis was also fined $11,255 for a late hit against the Broncos last week.
