| Dolphins FS Tyrone Culver Fined $20k For Hit Vs Bills
Dolphins safety Tyrone Culver nervously awaited to hear from the NFL this week about his hit on Bills receiver Stevie Johnson last Sunday that resulted in a 15-yard personal foul. Culver finally heard from the league, and the news wasn’t good. Culver, a fifth-year veteran who is making $700,000 this year, was fined $20,000 for striking a defenseless player in the head and neck area, according to a league spokesman. The fine for most unnecessary roughness penalties is $15,000 – safety Yeremiah Bell has been fined that amount two different times this year – but the league office determined that Culver’s hit was especially egregious. Culver said on Monday that there was no intent to injure Johnson or deliver a dirty hit. “I’m just going out there and playing aggressive,” he said. “You never want to see anybody get hurt.” Source: Palm Beach Post |
