NFL fines five players for preseason Week 3 disciplinary infractions

The NFL issued fines to five players for infractions occurring during the third and final week of the preseason. Colts cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt received the largest penalty of $7,791 for unnecessary roughness, which will be deducted from his Week 2 game check due to an existing suspension. Other players penalized include Jalon Kilgore of the Buffalo Bills for illegal use of the helmet, Jermar Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings for facemasking, Danny Stutsman of the New Orleans Saints for illegal use of the helmet, and Doneiko Slaughter of the Pittsburgh Steelers for taunting. This total of five fines is lower than previous weeks, likely because players released after the preseason do not receive Week 1 game checks. All fined players remain under current contracts. Collected fine money is donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation and the NFL Foundation to support former players and health initiatives.
