Roundup: Ravens' Pollard fined $10K for helmet-to-helmet hit

Despite insisting twice this week that he wasn't fined, Baltimore Ravens safety Bernard Pollard was docked $10,000 by the NFL for a hit on Jacksonville Jaguars running back Deji Karimon Monday night, the Carroll County Times reported on Friday.

Pollard received a 15-yard penalty for what the referee called a helmet-to-helmet hit. Pollard insisted that he instead used his shoulder and replays appeared to support him.

Pollard had said on Wednesday and Thursday that he hadn't been fined.

Other fines handed down Friday:

» Seattle Seahawks defensive end Red Bryant was fined $15,000 for unnecessary roughness, a league source told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora. Bryant was ejected for head-butting Cleveland center Alex Mack in Sunday's loss to the Browns.
