The NFL has fined Minnesota offensive tackle Artis Hicks $5,000 for unecessary roughness for shoving St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Gary Gibson on a play that ended Gibson’s season with a broken ankle.
“I don’t go out there thinking I’m going to hurt anyone,” Hicks told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. “But people get hurt. It’s part of the game. It’s unfortunate.”
Hicks shoved Gibson during a 47-yard pass completion in the third quarter of last Sunday’s game at the Edward Jones Dome, which was won by the Vikings 38-10. There was no penalty called on the play.
It's good that the NFL saw it, but its not that much of a fine.
