NFL fines Texans' Ingram and Stewart over Week 7 penalties

The NFL has fined Houston Texans players Ja’Marcus Ingram and M.J. Stewart a total of $18,028 for infractions during their Week 7 loss to the New York Giants. Ingram incurred a $6,361 fine for unnecessary roughness due to a late hit on a kickoff. Stewart was penalized $11,667 for a hip-drop tackle, which was not flagged during the game. Both players face potential future penalties due to the nature of their offenses, particularly Stewart, who risks a one-game suspension for repeated infractions. The Texans have been unable to improve their record, currently sitting at 2-5 as they proceed through their bye week.
