Raiders' Tristin McCollum Fined $5,722 for Hit that Ended Colts' Spencer Shrader's Season
The NFL has fined Raiders safety Tristin McCollum $5,722 for a hit that resulted in season-ending injuries for Colts kicker Spencer Shrader. The incident occurred during an extra point attempt on Sunday, where McCollum's hit on Shrader's kicking leg led to ACL and MCL tears, ending Shrader's season. McCollum was initially flagged for roughing the kicker, and the league's decision to fine him reflects the severity of the personal foul.
While the fine amount might seem relatively low compared to the consequences, it's important to note that NFL players are often fined more for celebrations. This fine is part of a trend this week, as Chargers player Marlowe Wax was also fined for roughing the kicker. The NFL is sending a clear message that such hits are not tolerated, and players must be held accountable for their actions on the field.
