The NFL has fined New Orleans Saints rookie defensive tackle Khristian Boyd $4,600 for a hit on Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith in Week 3. The hit resulted in Smith suffering a concussion, but no penalty was called during the game due to delayed whistle from officials.
The fine amount is determined by Boyd's salary cap number, which is just over $839,000. The Eagles were vocal in their dismay regarding the hit, highlighting concerns about player safety and officiating response.
