Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen was fined $16,883 by the NFL on Saturday for roughing the passer with his body weight in Jacksonville’s 10-6 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 14, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Hines-Allen was not penalized for the play during the game, a 12-yard strip-sack on Levis on the final snap of the second quarter. Levis aggravated a throwing shoulder injury originally suffered in Week 4, which eventually caused him to miss three games.

Hines-Allen finished the game with two tackles to pair with his sack and forced fumble. Levis completed the contest 19-of-32 passing for 168 yards.
The sack marked the 52nd of Hines-Allen’s NFL career, placing him 3.5 shy of Jacksonville’s franchise record, 55, set by Tony Brackens in 2003.
Hines-Allen, who signed a five-year, $141.3 million contract extension with the Jaguars in April, has recorded 286 total tackles with 61 for loss and his 52 sacks, two interceptions, 10 defended passes and 10 forced fumbles in 87 career appearances.
