Arizona will keep its 2024 first-round receiver out of Sunday's game against Detroit while the deal is completed, and the remaining dispute is reportedly over the year of a second-round pick.
Ravens linebacker Trenton Simpson, Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and Broncos guard Ben Powers drew the largest fines, and five players were docked for hip-drop tackles.
Dan Campbell said the Pro Bowl safety and the free-agent center should open their return windows before Sunday’s game in Arizona, though neither is guaranteed to play.
