Packers linebacker Clay Matthews has been fined $18,231 for roughing the passer in last Thursday’s win over the Bears, per multiple reporters.

Matthews led with the crown of his helmet on the hit that ended the season of Bears quarterback Brian Hoyer, who broke his left arm.

Matthews is battling a hamstring injury and trying to get healthy enough to play Sunday at Atlanta. He was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, and the Packers list him as questionable.
