The Atlanta Falcons have received another fine from the NFL for unnecessary roughness. This time, linebacker Kaden Elliss was fined nearly $11,000 for a hit during Sunday’s win over the New York Jets, according to ESPN’s Michael Rothstein.
Elliss was previously fined for unnecessary roughness back during the team’s Week 3 matchup against the Lions.

Elliss shouldn’t feel too bad, though. After all, Jets running back Breece Hall received a fine of nearly four times the amount Elliss paid for his hit on Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell.
Hall lowered his head as Terrell came in for the tackle in the first quarter, leading to a concussion. Watch the play that earned Hall a $43,709 fine, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero below.

Fortunately for Atlanta, Terrell has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and is expected to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Check out the team’s updated 53-man roster, injury report and depth chart heading into Week 14.
