The Dallas Cowboys faced further setbacks as safety Donovan Wilson received a $16,883 fine for a hip-drop tackle on Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson during a recent game. This incident occurred in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys' loss, amidst news of cornerback Trevon Diggs being sidelined for the season.
The NFL's definition of a hip-drop tackle involves a player wrapping the runner and dropping their weight onto the runner's legs. Wilson's fine adds to the list of penalties faced by Cowboys players this season, including fines for Trey Lance and CeeDee Lamb.
