The NFL has fined Denver Broncos safety Devon Key $4,417 for his facemask penalty in the second quarter of last week’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to multiple reports.
Key was featured in Denver’s secondary over the last two weeks while P.J. Locke recovered from a thumb injury. Locke has since been cleared to return to the starting lineup (with a cast) against the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. Key totaled 14 tackles over the last two games.
Earlier this season, Denver defensive lineman Malcolm Roach ($25,324), safety P.J. Locke ($27,944), defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers ($14,069), safety Brandon Jones ($11,255), outside linebacker Nik Bonitto ($8,791), fullback Mike Burton ($7,653), center Luke Wattenberg ($5,872) and tight end Lucas Krull ($5,083) also received fines from the NFL.
The money the league receives from fines is “donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation to support Legends in need and the NFL Foundation to further support the health, safety and wellness of athletes across all levels,” per the NFL.
