NFL fines roundup: Bernard Pollard docked $10K for hit

What's a weekly NFL fines cattle call without Bernard Pollard in the mix?

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Friday that the Tennessee Titans safety has been docked $10,000 by the league for a late hit out of bounds during an Aug. 8 preseason loss to the Washington Redskins, per an NFL spokesman.

The fine comes as no surprise after Pollard launched himself onto the back of Redskins wide receiver Aldrick Robinson, netting a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness.

Pollard told The Tennessean this week that he didn't believe he'd be fined: ". I am already coming in and already going in to make the hit, so I don't see his other foot go out. He was inbounds and his other foot finally went out."

Said Pollard: "For me as a defender, I am going to make the hit. I am going to hit you. There have been times I have been late and there have been times when I've had solid hits, but for me, I can't worry about whether the league is going to fine me or not."
