NFL fines Colts cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt for preseason penalty

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt received a $7,791 fine from the NFL following an unnecessary roughness penalty in the team’s preseason finale against the Detroit Lions. This penalty comes as the defender prepares to serve a one-game suspension for a prior violation of the league's code of conduct policy stemming from a reckless driving incident. Taylor-Britt will miss the Colts’ season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on September 13. The cornerback joined the Indianapolis roster this season on a one-year, $1.4 million contract after spending four years with the Cincinnati Bengals. With teammates Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward managing injuries, the Colts face potential defensive depth challenges for the Week 1 matchup. Taylor-Britt is eligible to return to the active roster following the team's first game of the regular season.
