Washington Redskins linebacker Ryan Anderson was fined for $28,075 this weekend after being called for an unnecessary roughness penalty in last week’s win over the Carolina Panthers.
Anderson was ejected from the game after the hit, which came as a surprise to many Redskins fans, considering a player for Carolina egregiously hit WR Trey Quinn in a similar fashion earlier in the game, and it received no penalty.
Despite Anderson’s absence, the Redskins were able to hold onto their lead and win the game. After the play, Panthers’ TE Greg Olsen, who was the subject of the hit, entered the concussion protocol.
Anderson is expected to play on Sunday.
