Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Trysten Hill will have to pay for his controversial tackle on Chris Carson in Week 3.
Hill received a $6,522 fine for the tackle, with the NFL citing unnecessary roughness, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The defensive lineman received a second fine of the same amount for roughing Russell Wilson in the same game.
Hill twisted Carson’s leg while making a tackle, which knocked the Seattle running back out of the game with a knee injury. You can see a video of the play here. Carson was able to practice this week, and is considered a game-time decision Sunday against Miami.
The Seahawks likely won’t be happy with a mere fine, as they wanted strong action to be taken against Hill for what they felt was a dirty tackle. The Cowboys, who defended their player, will probably accept this outcome.
