Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith has been fined $35,822 by the NFL for two hits during the team's game against the Buffalo Bills, according to league discipline announced Saturday.
The fine covers two separate infractions committed by Smith during the matchup. The NFL's football operations department reviewed the plays and determined they warranted financial penalties under the league's player safety rules.
Smith, a three-time All-Pro selection, has been a cornerstone of Baltimore's defense since joining the team. The fines bring his total for the season to an undisclosed amount as the league continues to enforce its standards for legal contact.
The Ravens and Bills faced off in a high-stakes AFC contest, with both teams vying for playoff positioning. Smith's penalties came during a physical game that featured several hard-hitting defensive plays from both sides.
