Titans safety George Wilson was penalized for a horse-collar tackle late in Saturday’s preseason loss at Cincinnati.

Now, he reportedly faces a fine.

According to Jim Wyatt of the Nashville Tennessean, Wilson indicated Wednesday he has been fined for tackling Bengals running back Dan Herron by the collar in the fourth quarter. Wilson, per the Tennessean, seemed to indicate he had been fined $15,000.

The tackle occurred on a 19-yard run by Herron.

Wilson, 32, is in his first season with the Titans. He spent the previous seven campaigns with Buffalo.
