3 Packers fined $5,000 each by league
NEW YORK (AP) Green Bay Packers Johnny Jolly, Al Harris and rookie B.J. Raji were fined $5,000 each by the NFL on Friday for actions in last weekend's loss to Minnesota.
Defensive tackle Jolly was fined for unnecessary roughness for head-butting Minnesota running back Chester Taylor. Cornerback Harris was fined for unnecessary roughness for grabbing a helmet-opening to make a tackle, and defensive tackle Raji was fined for a facemask violation.
Arizona tackle Darnell Dockett was fined $5,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit against Carolina, and Panthers tight end Jeff King was fined the same amount for striking an opponent late.
The biggest fine of the week went to Cleveland linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, $7,500 for roughing the passer when he struck Chicago's Jay Cutler in the face.
Indianapolis linebacker Clint Session was fined $5,000 for roughing the passer because he struck San Francisco's Alex Smith in the knee area.
