Buccaneers Running Back Rachaad White Fined Over $46,000 for Illegal Helmet Use

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has been fined a substantial $46,371 by the NFL for illegal use of his helmet during last Monday's loss to the Lions. White initiated contact with Lions safety Erick Hallett in the first quarter by lowering his helmet, an infraction that went unpenalized during the game. This marks the largest fine issued by the league this week for such an offense, and notably, White was also fined for the same infraction late in the 2024 season.
