Barnett had previously been fined $28,075 for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Jamaal Williams during Philadelphia’s Week 4 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Williams suffered a concussion and had to be stretchered off the field after Barnett’s late hit on a running play that was blown dead.

The Eagles are working to avoid the stigma of Barnett possibly being a dirty player after the physical defensive end picked up his third personal foul on the season with that play against Lewis last Sunday.
