No fine for Kareem Jackson, but 2 Alabama alumni cited

No fine for Kareem Jackson, but 2 Alabama alumni cited

Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson did not appear on the NFL’s weekly list of fines for the first time this season on Saturday. But the league did dock two other former Alabama standouts.

On its fines report for Week 4 released on Saturday, NFL cited unnecessary roughness as the transgression that will cost Atlanta Falcons safety DeMarcco Hellams $4,314 and New England Patriots defensive lineman Christian Barmore $10,927.

The play cited by the NFL for Hellams’ fine came on a tackle on a punt return in Atlanta’s 23-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Hellams was not penalized on the play, but Jaguars returner Parker Washington sustained a knee injury and was placed on injured reserve on Saturday.

Barmore was penalized on the play cited by the NFL for the defensive tackle’s fine. Barmore got a 15-yard face-mask penalty on a tackle of Dallas running back Tony Pollard in the third quarter of the Patriots’ 38-3 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

The NFL had fined Jackson $14,819 in Week 1, $19,669 in Week 2 and $11,473 in Week 3 for hits delivered in Denver games. Jackson received unnecessary-roughness penalties for his first two objectionable plays and was ejected for the Week 2 hit. He was fined but not penalized in Week 3.

In the Broncos’ 31-28 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 4, Jackson recorded eight tackles and intercepted a pass with 32 seconds to play to seal the win on Sunday.
