Carolina Panthers middle linebacker Thomas Davis was fined $8,681 for his late hit on Texans running back Jonathan Grimes, according to an NFL spokesman.
The punishment stems from an unnecessary roughness infraction.
Davis arrived late and struck Grimes in the first quarter of the Panthers’ 24-17 win over the Texans at Bank of America Stadium.
Grimes remained in the game and was unhurt, but later injured his knee.
