Pittsburgh Steelers safety Jaquan Brisker has been fined by the NFL for a hit on Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson that resulted in a concussion, according to a report from Steelers Now.
The incident occurred during the Steelers' game against the Browns on November 1, 2026. Brisker's hit on Watson drew a penalty on the field and has now resulted in disciplinary action from the league office.
The fine comes as the NFL continues to emphasize player safety, particularly regarding hits to quarterbacks and head trauma protocols. Watson entered the league's concussion protocol following the collision.
Neither the Steelers nor the Browns have publicly commented on the fine. The specific amount of the penalty was not disclosed in the initial report by Alan Saunders of Steelers Now on November 7, 2026.
