NFL fines three players for safety violations in Week 2

The NFL announced fines for three players due to violations of the new safety rules in Week 2. Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson received a fine for a hip-drop tackle, while Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton and Commanders defensive back Jeremy Reaves were penalized for hits on defenseless players. This season, the league's new policy stipulates that players could face suspensions for accumulating three penalties of the same type. Following the fines, players have the opportunity to appeal and may recover half of their fine if they commit only one violation this season. This comes after three qualifying fines were issued in Week 1.
