Offensive guard Richie Incognito’s last game as a St. Louis Ram came at an enormous price. Incognito has been fined $50,000 for two unnecesssary roughness fouls committed against the Tennessee Titans, the league confirmed Friday.
In the first quarter, he head-butted Titans defensive tackle Sen’Derrick Marks after the whistle on a Steven Jackson run.
In the second quarter, he struck Titans safety Vincent Fuller at the end of a pass play to Kenneth Darby.
In a letter to Incognito, NFL Executive Vice President of Football
Operations Ray Anderson wrote: “Future infractions of the types you have
committed may lead to increased disciplinary action up to and including
suspension.”
Player fines collected by the league have been used to support retired
player programs, including the NFL Player Care Foundation and NFLPA
Players Assistance Trust; disaster relief initiatives; and other
charities supporting youth, education and sports-related medical
research.
After his latest meltdown, Incognito was released by the Rams on Tuesday and subsequently claimed on waivers by Buffalo.
