Jack Campbell Fined $15,930 for Hip-Drop Tackle by NFL
Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell was fined $15,930 for an illegal hip-drop tackle during Sunday night's game against the Carolina Panthers. While affordable for the veteran, the infraction marks his first strike under a new NFL rule enforcing an automatic one-game suspension if a player accumulates three major safety-related fouls, including hip-drop and horse-collar tackles. The fine remains subject to a formal league appeal process.
