Two Baltimore Ravens defenders were fined nearly $30,000 combined for hits on New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough during their recent 24-17 loss to the Saints.
Outside linebacker Trey Hendrickson was hit with a $17,911 fine for a late hit on Shough just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. Officials flagged Hendrickson on the play during the game.
Inside linebacker Roquan Smith received an $11,941 fine for grabbing Shough’s facemask, a move that went unpenalised on the field. The NFL reviewed the play after the game and imposed the fine despite no flag being thrown. Smith’s penalty followed a touchdown by Shough that stood after video review.
The two fines total $29,852 for Baltimore, underscoring the league’s practice of reviewing incidents post-match, including those missed by officials live.
Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was also fined $11,941 for taunting Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey during the game. Unlike Smith’s facemask penalty, Olave was flagged on the field, and the fine brings the total for these Ravens-Saints incidents to $41,793.
The fines add to a frustrating day for the Ravens, who had led in the second half before the Saints rallied. Shough’s late touchdown run sealed the comeback. Baltimore now prepares for its next game against Dallas in Brazil, aiming to recover from its first loss of the season.
The NFL’s disciplinary actions were confirmed by reporter Jeff Zrebiec and Tom Pelissero via their social media updates following the match on September 26, 2026.
