Greenlaw’s third discipline

The NFL fined 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw $12,537 for unnecessary roughness after he struck Falcons receiver Drake London’s helmet with his fist in Week 7. It is his third discipline of the season, after a taunting fine in Week 4 and a one-game suspension for a headbutt in Week 5.

A costly celebration in Paris

The largest on-field fine went to Steelers tight end Darnell Washington: $14,926 for unsportsmanlike conduct. The league classed his touchdown celebration in the 16-10 win over the Saints in Paris, the first regular-season game in France, as an illegal celebration and a vulgar act.

Three fines from Houston

Giants-Texans produced three fines. Houston safety M.J. Stewart was docked $11,667 for an illegal hip-drop tackle, Giants running back Cam Skattebo $7,073 for leading with his helmet, and Texans safety Ja’Marcus Ingram $6,361 for a late hit.

Bears and Patriots pay too

From Chicago’s win over New England, Bears defensive back Clark Phillips was fined $11,550 for using his helmet while tackling Drake Maye, though he was not flagged. Patriots rookie Gabe Jacas owes $8,744 for a flagged late hit on the Chicago quarterback.

What comes next

Packers safety Xavier McKinney was also fined $25,000 for criticizing the officials after the loss in Detroit. Players can appeal through the collective bargaining agreement. Week 8 fines are due late next week, and the 49ers return on November 8 against the Raiders.
