Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh picked up a 15-yard penalty for facemasking Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan on Sunday, and he easily could have picked up another 15-yard penalty for a post-play shove.
But Suh, who has been on the receiving end of a few expensive fines during his two-year career, is apparently going to escape without this week’s paycheck being touched.
Suh’s agent Roosevelt Barnes told Mike O’Hara of FoxSportsDetroit.com on Thursday that there was no notification from the NFL about a fine. If players are going to be fined, they usually find out by Wednesday.
PFT has asked the league office to confirm whether Suh was fined, either for facemasking or the late hit, and we were told we’d hear back on Friday.
Suh’s previous fines include $20,000 for a hit on Andy Dalton, $15,000 for a hit on Jay Cutler and $7,500 for a hit on Jake Delhomme.
